Speaker 3 (00:04):
Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 4 (00:08):
Sewn Salisbury, The USC Truths, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 5 (00:14):
Brian Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sewn Salsbury Show.

Speaker 6 (00:22):
Divisional round of the playoffs are here, Sean Trip League,
Good morning, what's happening? What's up?

Speaker 7 (00:31):
Good morning? All good here? Man? Just uh, I'm just
keep on keeping on, you know what I'm saying. That's
all you can't do. I mean, just you show up sometimes,
you what show out? Yeah, we'd like to do that
every day, show up and then possibly show out. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (00:52):
It's all you can do, man, that's all you can do. Well,
it's Friday. You know how we get down around here?
That's what I'm talking about. Baby, We'll get hey, we'll
get klay Walker fired up for later on in the show.
What do you mean we're down on it already?

Speaker 7 (01:08):
I didn't think that's what we Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:11):
You already down on it, Sean six oh one in
the morning and you're down on it. I've never liked it.
But it's not about it's not about us. It's about
the team. It's about us. No, it's about the team,
and the team plays well, when we play the song,
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:27):
Sometimes they played well, last week's Times played it and
they lost.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
All I'm saying is last year this week. I All
I'm saying is it was at the start of a
new season. Last week everybody was oning oh because it
was the playoffs. Well, they're want to know in the
playoffs and we're wan to o playing. It's football time
in Houston.

Speaker 7 (01:45):
It's football Teamy.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Use there you go.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
See come on, you're gonna play it? Are you?

Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yes, of course I am. What do you mean, what
if they get their ass kicked? Well, it has nothing
to do with the song. You're playing the freaking jeeves.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
What we expect? Well, got a point, good good call,
good call.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Lines at eight currently holding steady at eight points, eight
point zero or eight point five, eight point zero, eight
total points. Washington and Detroit, which is the night matchup
on Saturday nine and a half, Detroit favored by nine
and a half, and then looking at it on Sunday,
Rams Eagles Eagles favored by six and a half. Baltimore

(02:31):
Buffalo Baltimore favorite one. That's basically a pick them game.
So those lines pretty much holding steady for the most
part where.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
What are the Texans at right now?

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Eight eight forty one and a half is the over.

Speaker 7 (02:45):
Under big spread for low scoring game.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
I know what's well, they expect the what do they expect?

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Expecting to kick their ass man? That's what That's what
the line says. Hopefully they'll have some the different for
the Chiefs when it comes to the result of this game.
We'll go find out though.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Joe Mixon, that is questionable.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
Yeah, yeah, I'd rather hear the word probable. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
This was yesterday yesterday by pretty much every media member
in the city that he did not practice yesterday and
he's listening as questionable with an ankle injury. What the
hell where did this come from?

Speaker 7 (03:30):
I don't know. Maybe it's one they just I don't
want to say hit, but didn't talk much about. But
that's a that's a that's a definite blow. If he
doesn't play, there's no way he misses, right, there's no way,
I imagine, Well, questionable. Hopefully that question will shift on
a diamond be back to probable today or tomorrow. Yeah,

(03:53):
I just the thread of him a little different. You'll
be using two backs on a regular basis if he's
not in the game because you know you're not going
to run Pierce out there for thirty carries or thirty
touches and pass protection and the rest of it, so
you'll go to your depth and use too. But I'd
like to have mixing in there the majority of the time.
Let's hope he's healthy. Let's hope whatever shot or whatever

(04:15):
treatment he's getting gets this right, because no, Joe Mixon
puts a lot of pressure on the passing game. Now,
I'm not saying Pierce can't run, but it's different. Yeah,
it's a different it's a different approach. Could be some
gamesmanship there. Maybe give him day off yesterday. Maybe I
don't know if you're allowed to. If you, I mean,
you're not supposed to lie about your injury report, but

(04:36):
I'm sure people do so. But questionable, When I hear questionable,
I usually lean on the side of not playing right.
When I hear probable, I lean on the side of
his playing. So maybe questionable just sits in the middle
of fifty percent, But it always feels to me like
fifty to fifty when the questionable comes up, that it's

(04:58):
feels negative. It Maybe it may be and it may
not be, but it feels negative to me, like questionable
is supposed to be. He's not playing.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
So on the official injury report that was put out
by the Texans Joe Mixon ankle injury Tuesday, it's got
a little dash in there. Wednesday it says limited and
then yesterday did not practice. Listed as questionable for the game.
A Zi's outshi Hear knee injury. Did not practice on Tuesday,
limited on Wednesday, limited on Thursday, questionable for that for

(05:26):
the game. Robert Woods has not practiced all week long,
so that's another question mark. Who's going to return punts?
You throw Damian Pierce back there, whoever can catch the ball,
Derek Stingly? Why not Derek Stingly? I would put somebody
back there who can catch it. Even if you can't
get me yards, You've got to secure the football. That's
that's highly under I told you special team to go

(05:47):
play m HM in this and what you don't want
now that you talking about a game change or drop
a punt your own twenty yard line and please put
your heels at ten and do not catch the ball
at five.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
Please please just stop it. That's you know, that's just
that's low football IQ. When you put your heels at
ten and it goes over your head and you still
go catch it. It's stupid. And if your special teams
coach is telling you to go catch it, then he
needs in any city, then he needs a change of heart.
It happens too often in the league. And I don't
know what they're seeing or why they're doing that. I

(06:18):
don't know when that changed. But special teams will be big,
and you got to ask somebody. I don't I don't
game breaking. A guy catch and runs fine, but I
just can make sure you secure the football and then
you know as a punt returner, and then we'll take
care of the rest. So, but Joe Mix, and I'm
not saying it's a it's a you're in major trouble

(06:39):
if you don't have him. I can tell you this
year you're in a little bit of trouble if you don't. Yeah,
he's gonna play. There's no ways. I have a hard
time believing that he wouldn't play. Yeah, But I don't
know how serious the questionable is. To be honest with you.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Our our own Adam Weser was out of practice yesterday
and he tweeted out a video of the guys getting
ready to start their practice, and he said, do not
currently see Joe Mixon ankle while practice has opened. The
media he was listed yesterday limited yesterday. Also, we will
see him play Saturday. I would assume he's gonna play.
I don't know what would keep him out obviously, if

(07:15):
that ankle injury is that bad. Hopefully it's just extra
extra extra precaution. Keeping him out of practice yesterday and
having him limited the day before. You got to have
Joe Mixon in that lineup, like there's just no way
they're gonna be able to get it done without him.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
I would think that that'd be the case. And I
would think that, as tough as he is, that if
it's a question mark, that the question for him would
lead on he's playing. If I'm Kansas City, I would
prepare for Joe Mixon, I would. But then again, we
don't know the severity of it. But it's playoffs. Man,
you got the whole offseason to rest.

Speaker 9 (07:46):
Well.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
You know you mentioned this yesterday, and I want to
ask you again about it. When we've talked all week
about stopping Chris Jones. How do you contain Travis Kelce,
Patrick Mahomes so forth and so on on all these
different things that the Chiefs, the different ways the Chiefs
can beat you. What are the Chiefs saying on the
flip side of it, Like, what are they talking about?

(08:07):
They got to be mentioned yesterday they're worried about Nico Collins.
I think Joe mix it.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
But what else? What are they game plan? I think
that the top two priorities would be force the koel
you can say three, force the quarterback off as mark,
meaning even though he could throw on the run, he's agreed,
he's an elite pocket passer, give him some interior pressures.
I would think that they'd say that it starts with
Joe Mixon. If Mixon is in healthy, we got it.

(08:32):
We cannot let him dominate the game. And then lastly,
limit Nico Collins, monster plays. Whatever it is you get.
Other than that, I don't think they go into the
game thinking that. I'm not saying they can't the Dalton
Schultz is going to dominate the game. Good player, Yeah,
I think they feel like their linebacker can cover him,
or a safety is good enough to cover him. You
just don't want I mean, it goes back down to

(08:53):
the to the best the the if you're Kansas City.
You don't want the edge rushers to disrupt this game
and wrecket for the Texans. You don't want Chris Jones
to do that. You do not want to let Worthy
in space. And you've got to put your body on Kelsey,
as we were talking about all week long, at the

(09:13):
line of scrimmage, instead of giving him free reign to
ten yards because then you're playing into his hand. But
I would think that the Chiefs in order eliminate or
disrupt the run game and Joe Mixon and make sure
Nico Collins doesn't have a Jamar Chase Jordan Jefferson type
game or Justin Jefferson type game.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
Yeah, and then on the foot and then for the
Texans obviously, I mean we've talked about it all week.
It's Travis Kelcey, Xavier Worthy, Chris Jones, pat Patrick Mahomes.
One thing we're gonna hit on a little bit this
morning is Patrick Mahomes scrambling ability extending plays, because that's
where you see big plays from them. Obviously. You know

(09:56):
we've mentioned the screen game to pick plays and things
like that, but then when he scrambles and extends plays
and you can't get him down. Somehow a wide receiver
manages to get open and it's a big play.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
They're going to also make sure that they're going to
tell their defensive backs and the back end to plaster
although you have to stand your guys because if you
don't get Mahomes down and he starts to scramble out
and you haven't plastered those receivers and stuck with him
and you come off your guy, Mahomes will find him.
So there's gonna have to be discipline and I disciplined
into the backfield. But plastering your receiver on a broken play,

(10:30):
because this guy's the best in the league at that
throwing it off a broken play, So it's going to take.
It's going to take a hell of an effort. And
it starts with you know, I know people like top ball.
You know, time of possession is I think a little
overrated at times. But when you're playing against the Chiefs,
it's probably not certain teams can score quick without having

(10:54):
to you know, aren't long drive teams. This team will
go fifteen plays in seventy five yards. But they're willing
to be patient. They don't need to be dedicated to
having monster plays on a record. They can beat you
a lot of different ways. You better plaster in the
secondary or it'll be the broken play that breaks their back. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Yeah, So let's talk a little bit more about the
ability of Patrick mahomes scrambling. Dimic O Ryans hit on
it and how they stop that part of Patrick Mahomes's game.
We'll hear that audio and discussed next right here on
the Shawn Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Why isn't the rat race more racy?

Speaker 10 (11:30):
Group strutching completely shutting down the Southwest Creek waypers low on.

Speaker 11 (11:34):
You anyway, enjoy your time crawling through Houston Road construction
with more shown Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
One of the big keys to limiting Patrick Mahomes tomorrow
for the Texans defense will be his scrambling ability extending
plays with his legs. Demko Ryans spoke about how to
limit that scrambling.

Speaker 12 (12:01):
He is different in the fact that he loves to
escape up through the B gap like through the inside,
and that's where he that's where he hurts you the most.
You know, you don't think of Patrick as this big
time runner and like Lamar or Josh, but he does
it in a more effective way. Because when he escapes
like he's gaining yards right now because he escapes up
through the pockets. So it's gonna take man elite awareness

(12:24):
and focus from our from our D line.

Speaker 7 (12:26):
They have to understand that B gap escape is there.

Speaker 12 (12:30):
So whether you're in, we cannot get up feel like
he's gonna say short in the pocket escape, So we
have to man.

Speaker 7 (12:36):
We have to close out those interior gaps.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Right.

Speaker 12 (12:39):
He got us last game, He got us just on
a huge run up in the red zone. He escaped
through the B gap. He was runn to convert and
allowed him to score points.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
And that's a demiko Ryan's talking about the B gap
for Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Yeah, that's it, which means he likes to climb north
and south and then he gets up in that then
you'll see him escape to his riders left and make
a throw. So that I would imagine their blitzes or
their discipline is going to be make sure you don't
it's gonna be like they're gonna treat it like special teams.
Do not get out of your lane, because when you
get out of your lane, he slides and shifts and
got great pocket feel and presence and slides up in

(13:17):
the pocket. And then you watched Lamar Jackson and Josh
Allen they do escape the east and west sideways and
then they get to the edge. Mahomes is a more slide,
then go slide up, then go east and west. So
you're gonna do everything you can to almost put a
wall up in front of him. It's like a passive

(13:37):
aggressive approach. You're not going to tell you guys not
to go get the quarterback, but you do not want to.
Oh my gosh, okay, I can make this turn here
and dip my shoulder and all of a sudden you're
now outside the B gap and what's he do? Goes
right where you left. It's like special teams. You get
out of your gap, those guys will study it and say, Okay,
on this next return, we'll do a middle return. That
guy loves to get out of his lane, and he's

(13:58):
gonna get to your right shoulder and boom, you're gonna
shove him right and we're gonna go right where he
left because he's gonna be impatient. He's gonna want to
be a hero. You can't try to be a hero
against Patrick Mahomes. You got to be disciplined and otherwise
he'll he'll become a hero quickly. And this is the
legs are always important because they'll be in all these

(14:18):
games left. They're time bought by quarterbacks in the right
time will be paramount in the extending plays and extending drives.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
You realize when this game kicks off, Patrick Mahomes will
have had twenty three full days of rest.

Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah, so it just, oh my goodness, So his ankle
is gonna be just fine.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
The last time he threw a pass Christmas Day?

Speaker 7 (14:46):
And hell were I mean, what's today the seventeenth, and
they're playing on the eighteenth. That's three did Yeah, you're
you're weak shy at Christmas? So for being a month
and he needed I'm not worried about his timing. You're
worried more about his health. And I would imagine after
all this time off that the ankles field pretty darn good.
Twenty three days man, Yep, it's a lot of time

(15:09):
for a lesser guy. Yeah, I mean you think, well,
is he in the competitive mode? I wouldn't want most
of my guys going through that with him. I don't
think that he's going to suffer one bit. Plus there'll
be a little hunger factor f him. You're going to
get the Chiefs at their best, so you're just gonna
have to deal with it.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
There's quite a bit of national media and a lot
of people that just think that this Chiefs team is
just going to walk all over the Texans tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (15:34):
And they may. I don't believe in that. I don't
believe it. I believe the Texans can keep it close
because they're defense travels and it's going to have to
travel in this one. Then it's just going to come
down to which team makes the third and one and
doesn't punt, which team scores a touchdown in the red zone,
they go forward on fourth and one and get the

(15:54):
first down, and then going and score as opposed to
kicking a field goal, and which team flips the field
on special teams. It won't be I don't see it
be an utter nomination thirty four to ten. Now, I
guess that's out there, but I think that would be
the aberration. I think defense travels for both of these teams.
The question is which offense will make a few more plays,
because I really think it's going to come down to

(16:15):
that because both teams run, both teams can hit both
teams tackle, and I think the Texans are actually a
better tackling team. But the front seven of the Kansie
Chiefs is real, and you're going to have to do
everything you can to establish some kind of multi offense
for them to get away from one dimension. We can
say that about every team every week, but you can

(16:37):
beat certain teams by being one dimensional, and you're not
going to beat either one of these teams by doing that,
and both offenses know it.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
You think there's a chance that the Chiefs could come out,
excuse me, on offense and start slow because of the
time off twenty three days. You think that in a world?
Do you think that they're just they've been here, done
that they'll be fine.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Go back and look at and maybe I'm crazy, we
can probably find it. I don't know how it's been
in Kansas City. I would imagine pretty good. Since our
record's good, go back and look at Andy rec Read's
record coming out of a bye week. I bet you
you're gonna find that's his percentage or the way he wins.
So is it possible? Yeah, But like I said, if

(17:18):
it was a rookie quarterback or somebody who hadn't didn't
have the skin in the game that Mahomes or Andy
Reid have, I'd be a little more concerned. But mahomes
mechanics or not. That Mahomes isn't a mechanics guy. He's
an off schedule throw sidearm three quarters not really says
feet take a nine step, drop, take a three step.
I mean he's not really if you're teaching the mechanics

(17:39):
of the position, you don't want to you're not going
to him. I'm not saying they're horrible there. I mean
I can name you the Burrow and Brady's mechanics were outstanding.
Warren Moon that mahomes is beats to a different drum.
So he's such a playmaker. I'm not real worried about
him being that like like a Drew Brees precise in
the pocket, everything things perfect accuracy. Mahomes will do that

(18:02):
by throwing an underhand a little shovel pass, and Andy
will make it easy for him to get early completion.
So I think could it. Yeah, But they haven't played
in a while, so I look at the other way around.
I think they're going to be so jacked up and
pumped up. You may see mahomes throw a ball four
feet over somebody's head right off the bat. I'm not
worried about their energy coming out because they know what's
on the line. Two more games and they're in another

(18:23):
Super Bowl with a chance to win their third in
a row. So I would expect energy and them to
be fresh and ready to roll.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
Since Andy Reid's been in Kansas City, just in the postseason,
the Chiefs are three and one after a bye.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yeah, and I think his record in Philly and coming
out of a bye in Kansas City, we're.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Twenty one and three in the regular season after a
bye week. You going thirteen and one as a member
of the Eagles and eight and two with the Chiefs.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
So I wasn't wrong. I mean I knew that has
stuck with me for years, thinking when you come out
of a bye week, which tells you he knows just
how much time to give them off, just when to
get their team going, and just what to say and
do to have them peaking on game day. That record
is real, that's been with before. I didn't even look
at it. I just said, I can remember when I

(19:13):
was doing TV and Andy was in Philly. They didn't
lose coming out of a bye week, and I think
one time you mentioned thirteen to one and in Kansas City.
With the way they've played, of course, the record says
that they're going to be pretty good. But Andy Reid's
ability to focus and get his team ready coming out
of a bye week, So if you're counting on that
as a Texans fan, I wouldn't for them to come

(19:34):
out sluggish and say they won't be ready to play.
And they may come out of a little sluggish, but
they will be ready to play. He does not lose
very often coming out of bye week.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
What like I mean, I know it's Andy Reid, but
what do you tell your team coming out of there?
What is the coach told you coming out of a
bye week?

Speaker 7 (19:51):
We were good too. I mean, he just knew when
to it. It doesn't take a big speech. Now you
may lean on that and say, listen, we don't lose
games coming out of bye week because whatever it is
that he says to them that gives them the love
of the right amount of time off where they don't
lose competitiveness but get back in time. I mean right

(20:14):
amount of time off so they're fresh and feeling good
and energetic. And just the right amount of time to
when they come back they're craving football that they're not
burned out by You know, some guys will grind and
grind whatever it is, and if there's some I doubt
if it's one word, but they whatever he's saying, and
more importantly, whatever he's got his team doing, they have

(20:35):
bought in and that they're studying on their downtime. They're
doing a lot of things to keep themselves ready without
burning yourself out. And I can guarantee you fresh legs
at the end of the season. The Cowboys and especially
the forty nine ers back in the day, they always
always had fresh legs late and this team does too,
so I wouldn't count on them not to be ready

(20:58):
coming out of a bye week. Their focus is is unique.
And his ability to do that, whatever it is, we
all need to bottle it up and sell it because
he's he does it better than anybody in football.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Yeah, because that's that's uh. To look at his record
and to know, like what football players do on their
bye weeks just to get away from the game. Heal
your bodies, everything that comes with being an NFL player.
And then to look at that record twenty one and three.
I also and what he can do to get his
guys united go.

Speaker 7 (21:26):
I mean, you can find a coach who has twenty
one three bye week coming out by a week record
that'll be as good as there is, my goodness, but
he has you know, some you can lose that intensity
that goes with it. And it's also respecting your coach,
like when your coach does be on time, or do this,
and here's here's what we're gonna do, get off your feet,
do it all. Some people hear it. They don't. Apparently
in Kansas City or in when he was in Philly

(21:47):
they do. And so if you if you want a
coach that knows how to gets you ready coming out
of it. But you know, we always say, well Belichick,
you give him two weeks and and rightfully so him
and Brady. But Andy Reid's as good as we've ever
had coming out of bye week. And so this one
that's not going to be the reason they lose. Right.
If they do right, it's impressive, man, it may damn

(22:07):
well be the reason they win, though. Yeah, but they'll
be ready to play. You should expect their best and
them fresh and coming out of the locker room ready
to hunt. Now it's that defens's job to see if
you can get them three and out right off the bat.
A matter of fact, I would probably if I won
the toss, defer and see if we could if that

(22:28):
three weeks did make a difference and we could knock
them in the mouth a little bit, get them to
punt right off the bat, and then you go down
and score. And well, I always have believed I loved
when our defense started the game. I did, and I
wanted to get out there and play right away and
get the series. But I love when our defense, sorry,
because I always expected, as good as we were, that
we were going to flip the field and get a
turnover and they were going to give it to us
instead of being back at our ten yard line on

(22:49):
a kickoff or fifteen yard line, that we were going
to be, you know, out around midfield with a chance
to And I like that. So I always wanted my
best unit on the field or whatever was playing the
best at that point in time, And if they win
the toss, i'd defer, yeah, and see if you can't
go quick three and out and get Cancity out the
field and say send a little doubt in their mind. Yeah,

(23:10):
and then the offense can feed off that. I like
that because I think the truth the matter is the
unit that's going to carry them and keep them in
it will be the defense.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah, Texans offense needs to start fast. How can they
do that with a quick pass game. We'll discuss an
next on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Its open up the phone lines. Take a call, Oh, Billy, Billy,
Bill Mella, what's happening?

Speaker 13 (25:50):
Hey, good morning, look at this two days in a row.
Uh hadn't had a chance to call it a while. Guys,
I apologize, I got a different job, So hey, we
want to talk about the Texans Sean, You're gonna have
to explain something to me. Why are they they playing
with the offensive line? They played it pretty maybe do

(26:12):
you address this? Yes, I don't know, but they played
a pretty good game last week and now they're they're
making adjustments and I'm confused on that. It doesn't seem
to make It doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 7 (26:26):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (26:27):
And the other thing, Uh.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
Hang on, Billy, hold on?

Speaker 7 (26:29):
What what? What?

Speaker 6 (26:30):
What adjustments are they making with the offensive line?

Speaker 13 (26:33):
Well, aren't they bringing Shack Mason back in?

Speaker 6 (26:35):
No, he's They don't know if he's gonna be able
to play yet. Okay, so if if he's healthy, then
he's gonna play. Because it's Shack Mason, I understand.

Speaker 13 (26:45):
But they played a good game last week without him.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
Now I agree they they played better than we've seen
in a while. But at the end of the day,
like it's Shack Mason, it's like he's one of your veterans.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
You're gonna play him and Billy, one thing that we
got to take into account, will you and I see
on which is obviously where you want them to play
at their best and do their best when they're watching
the practice field and in the game they're evaluating every
single stap. If they're starting five guys and four of
them are guys you like in one he said, why
would they make a change because they believe even though

(27:17):
they played last week, well, if somebody were to come
in there and everybody's healthy, and somebody were to come
in like Shack Mason, they believe they're better with him.
I mean, I I from our vantage point. But every
day on the practice field, even though they played well,
hell if they played well this week, they're gonna have
to play great. So maybe that's just it. I always
try to caution people because I'm going to say we

(27:38):
all do it. And I said back and said, well
wait a second, now, I wasn't sitting in a film
room with him this week. I would because our perception
is just what we see visually, but we're not in
the optics. And listen to how they respawn in the
meeting room. What kind of practice week did you have?
What is your focus? Maybe jumps off sides three times
the guy who's starting during press, whatever it is that
they feel at this stage of the season, Billy, you

(28:01):
know they're not running out their five guys that don't
give you the best chance to win. They're going to
play their best five and I'm hoping for that. Yeah,
you and me both, I mean, yeah, I really I.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Hope for that.

Speaker 13 (28:11):
And it just didn't make sense to me. And I'm
glad you explained it to me like that because that
kind of brings me some clarity. Last thing, and Sean
maybe once again, this is just what I'm seeing or
not seeing a lot of teams, especially the three other
teams that are remaining. When when that ball snapped, you've
got a guy in the middle of the field. Obviously

(28:32):
for the Kansas this can be Travis Kelsey, but there's
a guy in the middle of the field kind of
looking for a pocket or an open space as an
outlet for the quarterback. I don't see that for the Texans.
Is that because they're having to hold an extra guy
back into block or is that just not what slowly does?
And I'll hang up. Listen, thanks guys, the great show.

Speaker 7 (28:50):
As always appreciated. Billy, he cut out in my ear
piece at the love he was talking about the ability
to get fine pockets. That's what I'm saying to get
in space, right. That has a lot to do with
the guys up front has a lot to do with
what kind of defensive scheme and getting in space. That's
why as a defense, you know what you're trying to do,
create anybody from getting into space. As an offense, you know,

(29:12):
I mean, as an offense, you know what you're trying
to do, get people spaced out like in a basketball game. Spacing, spacing,
spacing where one guy can't cover too so Billy. That
has a lot to do with obviously kind of play
called down in distance, how they're playing it defensively, and
just you know, sheer talent. Jamiir Gibbs is going to

(29:32):
create space with Detroit because he's so fast worthy, he's
gonna you could be right with him, and they're going
to create space. Why because he's just got a little
extra burst. So while it has scheme and players, it
also has to do with the timing of when you
call it and what kind of plays. You're not going
to get a lot of spacing at the initial point
of attack when you're running inside normally unless it's a

(29:53):
high school hole where a guy's running through a big
old and running to the house and you're not getting
touched till the third level, which does happen but the
ability to create deception offensively is how you create space. Yeah,
and then the talent takes over. You've got to create
deception in the passing game, in the run game. You
got to have them thinking, Ooh, I don't know what
this looks like where it feels complicated to the defense

(30:15):
and yet the offense it feels simple. So scheme wise,
but the ability to scheme your way into making it
feel complicated for the defense is another way to play
in space. What you try to also create is indecision
on the defense, and what the defense wants to do
is create the line of scrimmage all kinds of indecision
for the quarterback and the guy's blocking up front, so

(30:36):
it makes them look like, oh, they're walking into this
gap A gap, B gap dropping back out, so you're
changing line calls and all of a sudden you step
right and you create space for them to boom hit
an a gap blitz. So that's the whole process of
creating mismatches and creating deception if you're on offense, so
the defense has to come to the line of scrimmers
with confusion, which is your number one party.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
And as far as Shaq Mason is concerned. Earned he
practiced all day yesterday and it appears he's progressed enough
in his recovery to play on Saturday. And then you'd
have Juice Scruggs a little banged up with an ankle injury,
so it looks like he would provide the depth also
with Kenyan Green. So I would assume that Shack Mason

(31:19):
will start back at right guard for the Texans. And
he's been there pretty much all season long, so and
he's one of your veteran guys. He's very durable, he
gets the job done, so I can see why they
would want to plug him back into this starting lineup
on the offensive line. Even though, like I agree with
what Billy said, they did play played much better on
the offensive line. It's just like we've seen with the

(31:40):
quarterback position, you got a quarterback that role, Like when
arch Many was starting for the University of Texas for
a couple of games when when Quinn was hurt, they
went right back to Quinn. People were saying why arch
is playing, Well, why would you put Quinn back in? Well,
it's Quin, you weres and he's your starting quarterback. Not
saying that the quarterback vision and the guard position is
the same thing.

Speaker 7 (31:59):
The body of work, which is coaches are making. They're
not dumb. They're watching every single day, and I hate
to say this to all of us. They know more
about what goes on in that building than we do.
We see a one play result and thank God to
get him out. I mean, would you think about again
back to Donald the way that they're talking about Sam

(32:21):
Donald right now after this season he had because of
two unfortunate games at the wrong time, as if the
guy's a hack again. So it is we see different
from a distance than they see. You are round no offense,
even though we're watching. Nobody that calls in this show,
not you, not me, knows more about what's going on
on the offense than Bob Slowick Bobby. So they don't.

(32:42):
They just don't. We don't. I can see him say, well,
on third and one, call the playout, or it's predictable,
or why'd you do that that on game day? I
know about the whole week leading up to it. We
don't know more and why we're calling. Why I would
have called this no offense to you, me or anybody else.
You don't know more at the line of scrimmage, and

(33:02):
why he's calling it than he does. Now choke factor
comes in, what are you doing wrong?

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Day?

Speaker 7 (33:08):
Did you? We were overwhelmed, the stage was too big,
all those things that it can be for any of us.
But going into it, we don't know more about what's
going on or how to run this team better than
Demiko Ryans does. But we all have an opinion on
what we see and the result of what we see
on Sunday makes us question either good or bad, what
was going on the other six days of the week. Yeah,

(33:29):
and that's their job.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
Let's talk about the pass game for the Houston Texans.
Dimiko Ryan spoke about how to open up the run
game by utilizing that pass game.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
That's next, Hey, Country Boys, roofing country with the k
Boys with day Z Countryboys ROOFINGLLC dot Com thousand dollars
discount on your full roof when you get an estimate

that you don't. I'll get do both. And it's not
on four shingles where if it's one hundred dollars, you
get fourteen hundred dollars back. That's not the way this works.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
This Sean Salisbury Show continues to continue.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
S here from Demiko Ryans. He spoke about opening up
the run game via the pass game. What does that mean?
This is what the head coach had to say.

Speaker 12 (35:43):
Offensively, we just have to continue to play efficient and
when it comes to the quick passing right, getting the
ball out, getting completions, allowing our playmakers to make plays
as part of being efficient, and that helped us last week.
It also be a key this week as well. Not
only the quick passing game, but also running the football.
You want to play well in the playoffs, you have
to run the ball well. So both of those will

(36:06):
be key for us. And CJ's is commanding the offense right.
We know it's going to be loud, you know it's
going to be roudy there, so we have to be
great with our communication. Everybody has to be very attentive
in a huddle, making sure we're getting in and out
of the huddle fast, and make sure we're operating efficiently
all the way across the world.

Speaker 7 (36:24):
And we do that, we're a really good offense.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
So he mentioned, Johann you mentioned efficiency twice now in
that in that audio that we just heard talking about offense,
the offense, What exactly does he mean by the efficiency
part of it?

Speaker 7 (36:39):
Well, staying ahead of the efficiency is staying ahead of
the sticks and when people mean that, getting yards on
first down where you're not third and long yardage is
making the easy play simple play. Being able to run
the efficiency means don't turn it. There's a lot of
there's branches of everywhere, but you go through if you're
thinking about the clock or just a big old piece

(37:02):
of pie. Efficiency is going to be cutting about eight
different things. Can't turn the ball over, we know that.
Can't have three and outs because then they get too
many possessions penalties. That's part of efficiency, pre stap penalty.
You've got to control what you can control, and you
can control pre staff penalties. You can't lay the ball
on the ground and you have to you know, protect

(37:25):
your pastor with efficiency. As the quarterback, you efficiency means
just well, just like it says that when the big
plays are taken otherwise, just get me completions. Just just
just get me completions and keep things moving. Because to
my knowledge and my math says four four three is
a first down. Yeah, I mean to my knowledge four
plus four plus it's eleven first time, right? Or four

(37:49):
four and two still a first down? Yeah, that's efficiency.
Efficiency isn't making one big play early and then going
fours of three and out because the penalties are a
turnover or or dumb play calling or bad execution, or
passing up an open guy in the flat for a
five yard gain to hope you pass him up. It's

(38:10):
on third and five. You say, man, I see him,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna hold the ball a little
longer because I think I can get the ball over
the top. Well, don't think if the coverage says the
guy's open throat to him, that's efficient. And and I'll
tell you what else in efficiency is in the red
zone throwing the ball in the back of the end zone.
If we're gonna kick field goal, he cannot. You cannot
take sax turnal. All those things come into a big

(38:31):
old piece of pie. Now we know what. The biggest
piece of the pie is protect the football. And in
this game, the second part of it is keep your
quarterback upright and you will have a chance. If you
can't do either one of those things, you'll come out
of Michigan, I mean out of Kansas City with a
complete ass whooping.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
Yeah. How much do you think Demiko and Bobby Slow
talked during the game.

Speaker 7 (38:51):
Oh, on the headset plenty or like at halftime mentioned
what are we doing here? Or in passing? Well, if
you see they're not standing next to each other, the
coordinator there's kind of doing their thing. It's like a player.
If I'm over coaching him in a game, I'm not
freeing his mind up to get too much, too too much.
We'll talk about that tomorrow. When we watch the film,
that's the regular season, now tomorrow, tomorrow's next season. If

(39:15):
you lose this game, communicate here's what we do. What
are we thinking in the second half? Or if all
of a sudden you don't like it, If you're Demiko,
what's going on? You make sure you let him know that,
hey man, we're running the ball. Well, let's make sure
we don't don't abandon that. You hired him for a reason.
And there's certain things you want or if you want
a specific play or a specific run, you tell them.
Other than that, you what you do, like anything else,

(39:38):
the players play the coach coach, and at the end
you go in there and say, okay, let's evaluate what
could we have done different and you hope it ends
in a win or that you've learned something from it.
So I don't think they're spending a whole lot of time,
you know, talking in the headset. They'll talk and passing,
but they're not setting shoulders shouldered and Amika saying throw
it here or run it here. He let him coach,

(39:59):
and he's in power him to do that. But every coach,
if they it's going on in the intensity of a game,
it's like, hey man, we're up two touchdowns, let's run
the ball more things like that, okay, and go and
you'll get a coordinator. So you see it all the time, guys.
I saw Sean Payton and his due was yeah vaage Joseph.
They were getting after it with each other on side,
so Sean probably had a he's play more man or

(40:20):
play more zone, and Joseph like, I got this handled, coach,
you know, because that's my job. So and it's okay
that intensity should happen. And but what you don't want
to do is helicopter over either coordinator or because then
they can't do their job. You don't want your player
looking over his shoulder. You sure as I want to
let your quarterback your coordinators get into their play calling ability.
So I would imagine communication, yes, overloaded talking, just a

(40:43):
small talk for the hell of it. Not very often.
I got too much to think about the game to
worry about what my head coach thinks about my third
and four play call. But if he wants to run,
just roll by and tell me. Now, coach says, you
run it here, it's fourth and one, you got two downs,
run it both times, and you pass it both times,
and you're gonna have to face the raft. Well, you're
probably gonna have to deal with him in the locker
room after or at halftime or at the end of

(41:06):
the game, or when he's evaluated. I said I want
to run two times. Why do you think, Well, I
liked it better. Well, then then now you're gonna have
to answer to it. So that's on you. But that
does happen. His coordinators get locked into the way they
want to go. But most of the time head coaches
let their quarterback and let their coaches do their thing.
Just like I'm empowering c J. Strad when you have
the ball in his hand, I'm not yelling in his
ear and to throw it to this guy, you go

(41:27):
make the decision. We'll live with it.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
So you're saying Demiko needs to let Bobby Slowey cook.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
Probably let him cook, even though in truth, there's only
one guy in the league that we let cook, Rusty. Yeah,
gotta let Rus Wilson cook. Other than that, I'm not
sure anybody's cooking.

Speaker 6 (41:39):
Which I'll tell you what over the last five weeks, man,
that that's chef boy r Russ not good.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
Yeah, no, he was. He was microwaving hot talks.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Sure.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
Yeah, they weren't cooking any They weren't cooking a seven
course meal. Oh they were not, man, Russ, but I
still callinary arts once. So you disrespect because you will
not let him cook. And I don't understand that. Who Rus, Yeah,
you don't let him cook. We always let him cook.
You don't, You're like you bad mouth for us all
the time.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
Well, I mean he's dangerous, dangerous, Yeah, amazing, mister Unlimited. Don't,
mister Unlimited, don't do that.

Speaker 7 (42:11):
Yeah, don't don't do that. Don't do that.

Speaker 6 (42:14):
Guys are some haters today, man, Yeah, we are. They
don't like to play Walker song now hating on mister unlimited.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
Yeah, well tell me, you tell me you like that song?
I do in truth, in truth, truth.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
It's not about if I like it, Sean, It's about
what's good for the team.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
Okay. So if you don't like it, yeah, and we
don't like it, then why And do you like Russ
Wilson's game right now? No? All right? So basically you're saying, yeah,
but our face, our listeners, it gets them going. Try
some jacked up Russ Wilson cooking or the song the
song time in Houston. Better them than me.

Speaker 6 (42:51):
I'm saying, they just get fired up. Yeah, I mean sure,
I'm right. Yeah like it right? We uh yeah yeah
we yeah yeah. That's the theme song. Will it make
you want to cook? It's unbelievably exactly what a great
song it is. Now now we're talking what a great song.
There we go. Now we're talking rather enema. Okay, well,
let's let's let's get into the seven o'clock or more

her because she covered up. Yeah, I finally cover those

(46:40):
you know, big cans up after it was revealed that
she was her boss.

Speaker 7 (46:46):
They might have made love. They might have made love.
They might have made love, Okay, any thought about that?
Maybe they were making love?

Speaker 6 (46:55):
Are they in love? Maybe making love? You guys never
seen seeing glimpse blimps? No, she's got some blimps on her. Yeah,

Speaker 7 (47:03):
What what's wrong with you? Guys?

Speaker 6 (47:06):
You want to get skyt Mike and here and he'll
ask him. We'll ask him about Blinch.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
Don't marry the lead. Polly Wallace is walking fifteen miles. Yeah,
if the charge, if the Chiefs swims, no lose. Sorry,
if the Texans beat the Chiefs, Yeah, my bad. Right,
I just got blimps on my mind now, Bi, Yeah,
but you do roll up, you just roll up off,
get under anything.

Speaker 6 (47:24):
It'll take americall.

Speaker 7 (47:26):
You know, they will take americall. Shut up.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
A miracle. There is a professional football we're talking about here.
On any given day, it sounds so cliche, but on
any given day, anybody can beat anybody.

Speaker 7 (47:38):
Ain't got anything americall? Yeah, did you give me the
On any given day, I can beat anybody? Yeah, Yeah,
I'm surprised you're just now on any given day, Yeah,
on any given Sunday, even though they're playing on Saturday. Yeah,
I really can can't it saying dude, yeah, what a joy? Oy,
what a segment? Polly Walnuts fifteen mile walk. That's a

(48:03):
that's a hell of a walk. What time? What times
that show come on?

Speaker 6 (48:06):
I think like four o'clock our time in the afternoon,
two o'clock their time, something like that.

Speaker 7 (48:12):
One or two.

Speaker 6 (48:12):
I thought they were neat Yeah, yeah, so two o'clock
their time.

Speaker 7 (48:16):
Okay, So he said five o'clock. I got news for you, Polly,
fifteen mile walk in LA's going to take you a
little longer than that. Good luck, man, it takes you.
Is it four o'clock their time or our time? Five
pm Eastern? So fourlock Pacific? Polly may have to get
on a little earlier hike than that, you call Polly Walnuts. Yeah, Paully,
Polly Piers. Yeah, he's pretty feels pretty strong about because

(48:40):
when you say that on air, they'll hold you to it.
Then you just then you make it, you turn it
into you raise some money for charity. No, but you
raise money for charity, you know what I'm saying? And
you give money to you give money to charity, give
it to the LA victims. Say for every mile we walked,
somebody a thousand dollars. Turn it into a difference making thing. Yeah,
if you're gonna say that, than you're just talking out
of your ass. Well he's not really talking out of

(49:01):
his ass. I get why he didn't say this point spread.
He just said win. So it's really not that big
a risk. It's really not right. The two things. You
get in shape because you're walking, and it is a
hell of a walk, but you also, you know, you clicks,
get people like us talk about it. He's, uh, fifteen miles, healthy,

(49:22):
healthy walk. But it's not that it's not like he
picked put it this way. If he said, if Kansas
City beats the Texans, I'll walk fifteen miles. Now that's
a risk. That's a bigger risk that points are just
straight up Yeah, that's a bigger is he's not exactly
going out on a limb because the Chiefs are eight
point favorites. Yeah, okay, now tell me this, Hey, Paul,

(49:43):
So you want where are we doing against the spread.
So you're saying if the chiefs are inside, don't don't
win by would you do it against spid? Will you
take the Chiefs with the give the points away? Yeah?
And if he said yes, Now, the big, bigger risk
this is the fact that the Chiefs are gonna win.
They're heavy favorites, biggest favorite of the weekend. So whether
it holds two or not, the Chiefs should be the favorite.
They should be a touchdown favorite. No, No, Detroit's the

(50:06):
biggest favorite. Oh are and a half? Okay, they're So
those are two monster spreads. Yea for a final four game? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (50:13):
Which one? Which one do you think is a bigger mismatch?
Do you think it's the.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
Trial for each to get to the final four?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Hm?

Speaker 7 (50:18):
What's that?

Speaker 6 (50:18):
Do you think the uh? What's the final four in
each conference?

Speaker 7 (50:22):
Right? That's why I met. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (50:23):
Do you think the Lions in Commanders or the Kansas
City Chiefs in the Houston, Texas Which one's a bigger mismatch?
Obviously we see the points spread nine and a half favorites.
Are the Lions eight and a half?

Speaker 7 (50:34):
Eight?

Speaker 6 (50:34):
Excuse me? Eight point favorites?

Speaker 7 (50:36):
There's a good chance I'm taking both underdogs in this
game with and bet them with the points. Yes, matter
of fact, what's the spread with the Rams and the Eagles,
Rams and Eagles six and a half. Okay, there's a
good I think I think three games. I think there's
a good chance if you took every dog in this
weekend bet. I'm not talking about to win straight up
money line. Yeah, points points that you could have a

(50:58):
fourteen parlay man. I think Buffalo can. I think Baltimore
can beat Buffalo straight up in that building, whether a
one and a half, one point one. So it's basically
a pick them. That's saying something and Bill Buffalo is awesome.
Baltimore can go in there and win that. The Rams
are playing really good and who's Jalen Hurts? What what's
he gonna do with the throwing the football? Everybody's got

(51:20):
an if nine and a half points is a lot
for an accurate quarterback and a team that's decimated defensively,
I expect. Now, all that being said, the team that
I think has got the biggest chance to win the
game is the Baltimore Ravens in Buffalo. Yeah. Both those
teams could actually be your Super Bowl representative and are
damn good. So I may have a little fun and

(51:42):
take all four dogs in a parlay just for fun,
because I think you got a legitimate chance. That's that's
heavy stuff with those points spreads, especially with the Detroit
and in this one.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
Eight eight point nine and a half for the Lions
and then six and a half for Philly.

Speaker 7 (51:59):
I think, I think, I am. I'm going to do
it just for fun, partaly, all four, just for the
hell of it. See if you can't come away with
a big old chunk of change.

Speaker 6 (52:05):
Uh, the lowest ticket price for each game? What do
you think the prices are? Who has the most expensive
lowest ticket? Does that makes sense?

Speaker 7 (52:11):
Yeah? The most expensive, lowest ticket, lowest meaning location and
lowest price, lowest price, but the most expensive out of
the four Philly. No, I thought it'd be Philly as
wells No Detroit.

Speaker 6 (52:27):
Yes, really, tickets as low as three hundred and fifty
eight dollars. The lowest ticket price out of these last
four games the Kansas City Chiefs eighty nine bucks to
get in.

Speaker 7 (52:39):
So the lowest ticket price in Detroit you can get
is just under four hundred bucks three hundred and fifty
eight dollars under one hundred in Kansas City eighty.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
Nine bucks for Kansas City one hundred and fifty nine
bucks for Philly, one hundred and forty eight bucks for Buffalo.

Speaker 7 (52:52):
Expensive. Man, Oh, they love their lines. I can tell
you away at Tigers you asked, you couldn't.

Speaker 6 (52:59):
It would take it would take a lot of money
for me to go to that Buffalo game. It's gonna
be like ten degrees.

Speaker 7 (53:06):
Yeah, but if you could sit in a suite going
to see that game. Yeah, but I don't like NFL
games going out, being out in the elements. Oh, dude,
the tailgate though, I've been I played a game in Buffalo. Yeah,
I remember, you tell me about it and those dudes
are nutt. I'm just telling you, man, I've covered game Buffalo. Yeah,
as a broadcaster, they know how to Oh, they are
going to have it. There won't be one person that

(53:29):
place will be that. The tailgating is going to be
through the roof. Kansas City, great tailgate. You know, Philly's
gonna get after it. And what's the other one, Detroit?
We uh had some great times the different stadium. Obviously
when at first when they what were they they're saying
with Ford Field, is that it is yeah? Yeah, they uh,

(53:50):
they'll get out, but it's different. They're their location because
they used to play out and they're they're not Pontiac anymore.
They're yeh, that's what I played. Yeah, and they said
was some good tailgate. It was. We had It was
a really good place because that's a suburb, right and so,
and we played there, you know, once a year for
five years, so was there every year. But that tailgate
in Buffalo is gonna be off the charts.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (54:12):
Oh, they're a lot of them, and I think they're
and they're gonna be cold. They're gonna be drinking beer
and eating wings and having a blast. Yeah, that's a
fun If you ever get a chance, that's one of
the place go tailgate. Now this is cold, but go
tailgate and have fun there. If you ever get a chance,
you want to watch your team play, then if you
catch a hockey game if you can, so.

Speaker 6 (54:30):
Inane.

Speaker 7 (54:31):
Yeah, beautiful, beautiful place to go. I mean when I
say beautiful, it's just beautiful football environment. It's gonna be.
That's gonna be a ball busting game right there. Brother, Yeah,
faint of heart, you don't want to watch that game.
You might get yourself hurt just watching on TV. And
Kancy's gonna tailgate the hell out. That's a great with
the Royals and the Chiefs in the same parking lot.

(54:54):
Smell a barbecue, it'll be fun. I'm I'm I think
all four dogs have a chance to get inside the points.
And I actually think Baltimore. If you said who's got
the best chance of an upset, it would be them
for me. Yeah, and he said that's crazy because Buffalo
for a while has been the best team in the league. Yeah,
Baltimore's playing better than by right now.

Speaker 6 (55:11):
Guess who dan Orlowski uh said is the best team
remaining in the playoffs? The I'm sorry, the most dangerous.
We get that right, the most dangerous?

Speaker 7 (55:20):
He stay the Rams. Yeah, because he loves Matt did Yes,
he loves Stafford. Did anything you say, I mean, do
not say anything negative about Stafford like you're talking to him.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
Yes, exactly, he said the Rams are the most dangerous
team remaining in the playoffs seven one three?

Speaker 7 (55:39):
That's the only Did you see what I said about
you guys? Exactly?

Time for the stake out here on the Sean Salisbury Show,
Sean Brown and Tripoli, let's get right to it. Take
a little break from Texans Talk. Obviously, the sad news
yesterday coming out about Bob Yucker, legendary broadcaster voice of
the Brewers in a couple of different movies. We discussed
it at literally as we were going off of the air.

(56:39):
Let's play a little homage to Bob Yucker Harry Doyle.
He was on as Harry Doyle in Major Leagues. This
is some of the best moments of Bob Yucker in
that movie, as is picked off.

Speaker 7 (56:55):
Personally, I think we got hosed on that call the
rookie sensation.

Speaker 18 (56:58):
Ricky Vaughn on the pitch now he can close the
book on Keldern.

Speaker 7 (57:02):
Oh, thank god.

Speaker 18 (57:03):
Vonn into the wind up in his first offering, Jos
a bit outside, he tried the corner in this post
game show is brought to you by.

Speaker 6 (57:14):
Christ I can't find it.

Speaker 7 (57:16):
The hell with it, that's all.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
We got one damn hit.

Speaker 5 (57:20):
You can't say damn on the air.

Speaker 6 (57:22):
I don't worry nobody's listening anyway, But.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
I'll tell you these Cleveland fans are great. Listen to them.

Speaker 7 (57:28):
Get behind Vaughn hey way to go.

Speaker 18 (57:31):
Which will bring up Heywood, who leads the league in
most offensive categories, including nosehair. When this guy sneezes, he
looks like a party favor. Heyward's a convicted felon.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
Isn't he money?

Speaker 19 (57:43):
Uh doesn't really say it here?

Speaker 7 (57:44):
Well he should be.

Speaker 19 (57:45):
Hollywood swings and crushes one towards South America. Tomlinson's gonna
need a visa to catch this one. It is out
of here and there's nothing left but a vapor trail.
Those are fantastic. He has so many great ones.

Speaker 7 (57:59):
He say he goes. I was to say he goes.
I was rookie of the year my second year in
the major leagues. Yeah or no, no, but I was still.
I was rookie of the year in the miners. But
I was in my second year league or something. He
has so many great one liners. Let me, let me,
let me just tapa. I mean, I know, we got
a lot to say. One of my best friends is

(58:20):
good friends with Bob Buker was, and you know, Milwaukee's
out there in Arizona for their spring train. They play
golf all the time and come out there. And here's
what he said about bob Byuker. He said, I really
don't have the words, but I'm going to try. You
were kind, genuine, funny, humble, caring, bright, witty, clever, spontaneous
and generous. You're always respectful and made every one of

(58:42):
everyone you met feel like they've known you forever. And
that's that's sure true. Your contributions to make a wish
were unparalleled. I will always cherish our rounds of golf, lunches, dinners,
nights at Handlebar, Jay's, and the Dirty Dog Saloon. You
and Mike Shannon were the greatest storytellers of all time.
The fact that you worked fifty years with the Brewers
on a handshake speaks volumes about you and the Brewers organization.

(59:06):
I've had dozens of our buddies reach out today, and
we're all grateful to share this journey with you. Yuki
had ninety amazing years on the planet, and we intend
to celebrate and raise our glasses to a life well lived.
I know you wouldn't want it I would want it
no other way. And that was my buddy John Martin,
who's regular friends and golf buddies and stuff with Bob Buker.

(59:27):
And I think most would have those sentiments about Bob Buker.
I can tell you this, anybody I've ever met, when
his name comes up, find somebody who speaks that doesn't
like Bob Buker. Number one, but two is the unique
ability in a human being to make people laugh is
by just your personality, by just who you are, and

(59:48):
it makes people feel comfortable around you. And John, my buddy,
John said perfectly. You know when you meet somebody, when
you make you feel like you've known him forever, that's
a good traits. That's it. And so he shared. John
shared so many stories. Every year we get to when
we all get together, John shared so many stories about

(01:00:08):
you and just and revers him and holds him in
the highest regard. As you can tell by his post
this this will be a guy missed. This is this
was a difference maker and man and people love old
and young and everything in between love Bob Buker. So
what a life lived? He sure, I tell you one
thing he didn't get was cheated at a living right. Yeah,

(01:00:29):
so good for him and a phenomenal human being as
well as in a well well written by my A
great tribute by my friend that was around you are
quite often man.

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
He died at the age of ninety. Been the voice
of the Brewers for what felt like an eternity.

Speaker 7 (01:00:47):
Well it damn near was, you know. He broadcasts five
plus decades.

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
Fifty four seasons with the Brewers.

Speaker 7 (01:00:55):
What a run on a handshake. Wow, pretty impressive, huh incredible,
But it's all the baseball stuff and all that. It's
the way he made people feel in the laughs, and
I think it's a unique ability to make people smile
and laugh no matter what. And you, Bob Yucker had
a lot of that. So good on him. He'll be
missed man.

Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
He also won a World Series ring with Saint Louis
in nineteen sixty four. Also played for Atlanta and Philadelphia.
He lasted six seasons in the big leagues as a
backup catcher. He had a two hundred avacreer two hundred average,
fourteen home runs. He was asked what his career highlights
would be and he said, quote, I got an intentional
walk from Sandy Kofax, and I got out of a

(01:01:33):
rundown against the Mets.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
End quote.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
Ah, sure, his two career highlight.

Speaker 7 (01:01:37):
One of the great. Yeah, could you imagine you're Bob Buker,
You're a two hundred hitter and Sandy Kofak and Sandy
Kofax intentionally walks you. He's one of the great. He
was one of the great self deprecation guys too, had
no problem making fun of his career, but to make
no mistake about legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster. Yeah, and

(01:01:57):
with a great sense. He put it this way. He
had baseball in sports in the right perspective. Love him.

Speaker 6 (01:02:02):
You talked about how he made others feel and as
him as a person. Bud Sea League at one point said, quote,
Bob had the easiest way of making others feel at ease,
share a laugh, and always left left people feeling a
little bit better. Nobody was his equal end quote.

Speaker 7 (01:02:19):
Right, don't you always? Isn't the goal to make leave
people better than you found him?

Speaker 6 (01:02:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:02:24):
I would think that that probably defines who Bob Buker was.
And I think something that we can all do. We
need more Bob Bukers in our in our business, in life.
We just do you know, being able to laugh and
have a beer. Go call a baseball game. Realize it's
just a baseball game, right, and make sure you engage
with your buddies and go play golf and afflun He's
the guy that you just made. I want to go

(01:02:47):
play eighteen holes with Bob Buker and I can. I
can validate not the ucher stories than us. John shares
them with me because I've never had a meal with
Bob Buker, but I've had plenty of meals and a
lot of laughs. And with Mike Shannon. God rests two
soul too. We've lost a couple of them, and I
can tell you he ain't lying when it comes to
great stories. Mike Shannon will tell you some stories. It
will make you laugh your ass off. Deep and good

(01:03:08):
ones too, I mean, and gut wrenching ones, moving stories.
So I miss Mike. You know, his son's my best friend.
I miss Mike, and I sure sall know a lot
of people are gonna miss Bob Baker loved. We've lost
a lot of great ones, a lot of great man
and irreplaceable Yeah in truth, yeah, no doubt man, Yeah,
Bob you are passing away at the age of ninety

(01:03:29):
fifty four season calling games for the Milwaukee Bergers. What
a run man. Who spends fifty four years in their
job anymore at the same at the same place, it's
pretty rare. And who spends fifteen years at the same
place that is it's usually I mean fifty four on
a handshake. Yeah, Yeah, he's in that Clyde the Vin Scully.
I mean, I'm Vin Scully is the best bronct but
I'm talking about a beloved personalities.

Speaker 6 (01:03:50):
Yeah, he's right there.

Speaker 7 (01:03:52):
Ernie Harwell, Yeah, Joe Buck, he's in the team paper
Jack Buck. Should I say in Saint Louis Joe obviously,
But I mean you can go through carry. I mean
all the great ones, Vince Scully, Dick dick Enberg. But
nobody funnier than that, dude, No, nobody funnier. And like
I said, I think it's a great trade when people

(01:04:12):
You could be in a bad mood, then you get
around somebody and they always have a way of making
you feel good. I love. I think that's one of
the unique and best traits in the world, is having
people laugh. Yeah, and just not taking yourself too serious. Yeah,
And he lived that. Yeah, pretty impressive. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:04:27):
Bob Uker passing away at the age.

Speaker 7 (01:04:29):
Of great life. Yeah, great life.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
What a run man for Bob Ucker. Seven one three
two point two five seven ninety is the number too
join us get back to talking these Texans. Is there
any chance that Joe Mixon really will miss this game?
He's listed with an ankle injury. We'll discuss the next
Onllent Sportstock seven eineighty. The Shawn Salisbury Show continued talking

(01:04:51):
Texans and Chiefs. Seven one three two one two five
seven ninety is a number to join. It's out the falls, bisky,
good morning, Oh what's happening?

Speaker 20 (01:05:02):
What's happening my brothers? Hey man, it's it's Friday. Maybe, Uh,
let me say this, Shine, I must be in the
front row, Bob, youkre met. Let me say the old
folks says, just a happy, gold looking guy.

Speaker 9 (01:05:19):
That's why he came across.

Speaker 7 (01:05:20):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:05:21):
You know, amazing and you know, uh, we need more people.

Speaker 20 (01:05:27):
Like that, man. You know, we have an efficiency in
that area. And nowadays shout the people just.

Speaker 7 (01:05:34):
Just living life.

Speaker 20 (01:05:35):
Ain't trying to hurt nobody, ain't trying to fear nobody,
just trying to live a life.

Speaker 7 (01:05:38):
You know, they don't have an agenda, and Bob, Bob
Buker didn't have an agenda. They just they just loving
life and trying to make people around them better. And
I'm convinced that people that live longer when they have
approach life like that, they sure help us live longer
because they give us a great perspective. And Bob Buker
was one of those guys. Alright.

Speaker 20 (01:05:58):
I'm from growing up shouting for Bob and Joe, Garrett,
Jola so like when they got together and would tell
them stories and time to see them on the cars
to show h you know, but that was that was memory.

Speaker 7 (01:06:13):
Sean awesome.

Speaker 20 (01:06:14):
I think y'all y'all missed out on that level. Yeah,
missed out on that, man. But let me say, Sean,
the first one I get to my prediction shot. The
Rockets showed me something last night.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Man.

Speaker 20 (01:06:24):
The young team showed some grit, you know, when things
went falling or going their way, they can't fight.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
That's what you want to see.

Speaker 7 (01:06:34):
Don't you like team? Don't you like teams Biscuit that
know how to win close games when they're not playing well,
that they just hang. I mean that they're just to
be able to Hey, when you're kicking ass and playing well,
there's that group. Then there's the group when you're getting
your ass kicked, and you just know that there's going
to be a handful of those a year as well.
But it's the ones in any sport. I love the

(01:06:56):
ones where you can carve out some guts even if
you lose a game, but the you hanging that did
you find a way to hang around and either win it.
And now I'm not I'm not a big moral victory guy,
but I like teams that know how to win games
where everything's not going well. I kind of think that's
how you judge them. I do. It's easy to judge
anybody when they're winning or having their best game. I

(01:07:17):
want to judge them when things just kind of aren't
going the way they are. And this team's this team's
cut a little different, man. They're built different, now, they are.
It's not just talent. They're they're yeah, they're they're they're
built different, and they're they're like a little soul, right,
I mean they're they're built a little different in their soul.

Speaker 21 (01:07:33):
This is not just cosmetic, right, like you say, they
they had people missing ress was you know, kind of
gives them with some tiki tag calls all those.

Speaker 20 (01:07:45):
Things on a back to back and and they like say,
they just kept keep playing, man, just keep playing, you know,
play forty eight minutes and then we'll, you know, see
what happens in the end and then and that's that's
all you get. Ask And ain't showing that grippreciating shine.
I'm an Indiana boy, But though to day ain't gonna

(01:08:09):
I don't. I don't see it, man, I just I wish,
I hope, hope for the young coach man, the brother
over there. They gonna it's gonna take some turnovers and
some small kind of stuff and notre Day to pull
this off against Ohio State.

Speaker 7 (01:08:23):
I see that. You think it's a big a big
win or a close game.

Speaker 20 (01:08:28):
I think this is gonna might be a ten point
win for Ohio State.

Speaker 7 (01:08:32):
They're pretty talented, man, Yeah, they're talented.

Speaker 20 (01:08:36):
Twenty seven seventeen something like that.

Speaker 7 (01:08:38):
Okay, what do you think about the Texans game?

Speaker 20 (01:08:42):
Texans ain't the world of trouble, Shine. I've been trying
to figure out a.

Speaker 16 (01:08:45):
Way they can win.

Speaker 20 (01:08:48):
And maybe those off of the tackles for Kansas City.
They can rough them up, and you know, Muffy game
up and I see another I don't see a blow out,
blow out, but I.

Speaker 9 (01:08:57):
See another puffle.

Speaker 16 (01:08:58):
Did you win maybe twenty to ten Kansas City?

Speaker 20 (01:09:04):
I mean I don't. I don't unless Mexican run the
ball over one hundred yards, but I don't see that happened.
So I see a twenty two in Texans. But it's
to me, it's a successful scene, man and the team
they were last year. It just injuries and it just
got tied up a few areas.

Speaker 7 (01:09:21):
You know, still a lot of growth to come from it.
Win or lose. It's not the moral victory, but how
to build and how to become the Kansas City Chiefs,
because that's what everybody wants to be right now right
You want to learn how to win like they do.
So it's gonna be a I mean a hell of
an opportunity, but a tall task, that's for sure. Biscuit,
great stuff, brother, have a great weekend. And I think
a lot of people still have a notre dame as

(01:09:41):
a I don't know about heavy under, and I think
most people think that Ohio State's talents are will win
through on this and I'll tell you what. Ryan Day
could sure use it. But yeah, man, the way Marcus
Freeman has his team playing, I'm not putting bay it.
It's one of those games you feel like it could
be close, close, close, and maybe then maybe Ohio State
makes a few more plays. But I am I'm not.

(01:10:03):
I've seen too much from Notre Dame this year to
think that they can't hang in there because their defense
is pretty damn good. Yeah, and they're they're fast.

Speaker 6 (01:10:09):
Yeah, that's what's going to keep him in is the
speed for Notre Dame's defense. Talk to Brian, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (01:10:14):
Brian?

Speaker 22 (01:10:15):
One of guys, I won't be curious to see you
on Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (01:10:19):
I think this is the year it happens. I think
Bill Triple if you cannot put a on hold, can
he let him know he's got a bad connection on
that end? That National Championship game is gonna be played
on Monday, so we're going to break that down on Monday,
as well as the Texans and Chiefs game. Do you
honestly think that Joe Mixon there's a chance Joe Mixon
does not play in this game, Sean, I don't listed

(01:10:40):
a questionable.

Speaker 7 (01:10:41):
I think that there is I think he plays. My
thing is how long does he last? I think that,
I mean, I think for Joe Mixon and his competitives,
I think you'd have to unless it was if he's hurt,
he'll play. If he's injured, he won't, right and so
I don't doubt. And if you're hurt in your questionable,
I would imagine his threshold of pain. I think he
understands how much his teammates are leaning on him to

(01:11:04):
uh to play in the game. Like I said, there
is a difference between being hurt and injured. I've said
it a million times. If you're injured, most likely you
can't play. If you're hurt a lot of times you
have to play. You just kind of work your way
through it. I would expect Joe Mixing to play. My
key is how much can you rely on him? How
much can you lean on him? And how long can
he last? If it really is a questionable, what is
a high ankle.

Speaker 6 (01:11:23):
Sprain or and just get him a couple of kuludes.

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
You know, well, I've seen guys. I've I've seen guys.
I've seen guys medicate before games plenty of times, brother
and during okay.

Speaker 6 (01:11:40):
Hey man, whatever gets you on the field, I guess why, Yeah,
who are you? I'm not here to judge exactly, we're not.
I'll see if we get Brian real quick, Brian, you're there? Hey, sorry,
there we go. What's happening Friday morning?

Speaker 13 (01:11:51):
Poulter?

Speaker 7 (01:11:52):
Guys, what can you say? There? You go?

Speaker 9 (01:11:54):
Hey real quick?

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
On Tuesday?

Speaker 22 (01:11:56):
I hope it's today. Wax gets into the Hall of Fame.
I think it was only five votes short last year,
so from what I've seen on the early.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
Balloties, well, he's like eighty.

Speaker 22 (01:12:06):
Five percent of the ones turned in, so I think
I think he makes it this year.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
If anybody needs.

Speaker 22 (01:12:11):
A good laugh and you're just having a bat a
bad day, pull up Bob Baker's Hall of Fame speech.
That is one of the eighteen minutes of just sheer hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
It will there's no way.

Speaker 22 (01:12:25):
You cannot laugh. That guy was just a gem. But
apparently from everything I've read, he was just salts of
the earth and just one of those good guys. And
then the Texans, if that defense that played last week
against the Chargers, the same defense shows up, and I
think having Christian Harris back, I'll shy hairback, you're gonna

(01:12:46):
be able to run with those tight ends. It's gonna
come down to the secretary of the secretary the secondary
and how well they're able to keep Mahomes contained.

Speaker 7 (01:12:56):
And keep it.

Speaker 22 (01:12:57):
Hopefully somebody on to keep them.

Speaker 9 (01:12:59):
In that pocket, not let him get out and run around.

Speaker 22 (01:13:02):
Because that's when he gets dangerous, is when he becomes unpredictable.
I think they have a chance, but there's somebody on
that offense that's gonna have to step up, because you know,
Nico is gonna be double team, if not triple teams
and put everybody on him. So somebody else is gonna
have to step up and have a game.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
So have a good show, guys.

Speaker 22 (01:13:19):
But if you might need to laugh, go listen to
bout Ukers Hall of Fame speech.

Speaker 7 (01:13:23):
It's priceless too, and it's heard it and it's one
of a kind. Yeah, he's just a special guy. I listen.
If they come out of this game and you're like
number two or three receivers had a career game, you
may be in pretty good shape. Yeah, I know. I mean,
and the obviously your stars are gonna have to play
good football. But I'm anxious to see who was the

(01:13:45):
difference maker in the game and did he come for
Did a team lose because their best player. Did a
team win the game because their best player dominated and
the other defense allowed it to happen. If we come
out of this Nico concest twelve catches for one hundred
seventy five yards, shame on the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah,
if mix and rush. If you come out of this
and Kelsey has twelve catches, we got problem, a big problem.

(01:14:10):
And so now if you come out of this and
all of a sudden you look up and nine catches
for one hundred and forty five yards is John Mechi,
You're like, oh, okay, this good. That's a quarterback who understood. Man,
you just can't force it to one guy and you
start spreading the ball around. I think it's gonna be
a good game. Can they sustain four quarters of offense?
That's all I gotta say. I know the defense is

(01:14:31):
showing up, right, I know they are right.

Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
Let's continue to talk about the Texans and Chiefs matchup.

Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
We want Sean Salisbury continues on seven ninety.

Speaker 7 (01:16:23):
It's robot. Then he leads into it. Yeah, it's like dog,
I'm broken down. Yeah, that's the goost man. It hit
the arm and just kind of let it dangle.

Speaker 6 (01:16:33):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:34):
I mean, it's gonna do nothing like something. The dis dangles,
you know what I'm saying, A good dangle in the arm,
you know, Yeah, I mean that's joy. Well, dude, you
gotta leave that alone. What do you mean, what'd she
do to you? You want to ask Sean Watson. Then no,
I'm I'm no, hey real quick, No, you can't transition
like that.

Speaker 6 (01:16:52):
How do you rerupture your achilles just two months after
you had surgery? What in the are you doing?

Speaker 7 (01:16:57):
Son?

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Like?

Speaker 7 (01:16:59):
Honestly, bro, I don't know how you rerupture it training
two months after walking like walking, I don't know how
how do you rerupture it?

Speaker 6 (01:17:07):
Like when I had back surgery, I was down for
the count for let's see, I missed two days of
work and I came back on that Monday. But I
was very, very very careful. I was in a back
brace for a week straight. I didn't do anything to
jeopardize the back surgery because I never want to go
through that again.

Speaker 7 (01:17:23):
Yea.

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
So like, if you tear your achilles, don't you think
you'd be extra careful?

Speaker 7 (01:17:29):
I would think so to two months later, yeah, and
tell you unless you're the doctor saying okay, you can
do this, and then he just didn't strengthen it enough.
And and uh, once you to, Like I've always said,
achilles is far worse for a career like his than
a knee. Now and uh, I've never torn my achilles.
I've been around guys who have and it's a gross injury. Yeah,

(01:17:53):
it's not. And the rehabs brutal, and the pain, from
what I understand from people, is brutal. But I don't
know how it happens unless you unless you prematurely started
doing stuff ahead of schedule. Yeah, and you weren't ready
for it. I got I'm gonna start unning now. When
you say just walk, you showded your knee twice, shredded
my knee twice. Uh huh. I've had five knee injuries,

(01:18:14):
a knee replacement, two shoulders of broken nose that had
to be repaired. I've had compound fracture on my hand finger.
I've had torn ligaments in an ankle, concussions obviously, I've
had nerves burned in my neck, in my back because
the the you know, the they sit on top of
each other, do the the.

Speaker 6 (01:18:33):
You know down there with the yel four L five rings.
So let's just take one of those injuries. Let's take
your your knee injury that was when you were at
USC YEP, two of them. Imagine you have your surgery,
get it all fixed up, and then you start, you know,
I almost drop the F bomb. You start messing around
about two months later when you go through that whole rehab,

(01:18:55):
weren't you actually careful because you said, man, I need
to get back out in the field.

Speaker 7 (01:18:58):
I need to get myself healthy enough. I gotta get Yeah.
But then that's the other part. If you feel like
you're behind schedule, you feel like people are looking at
you different. If you're ahead of schedule, you want to
keep at it. I do get now. I don't know
how he reheard it. I mean as far as if
no idea for me and mine, you're you're kind of
in your own little world to rehab because you're out

(01:19:20):
of side, out of mind. Players don't. I mean, when
you're in a training room and doing it, they walk like, hey,
sounds how you doing. But they will spend a lot
of time talking because it almost feels like it's like contagious,
but it's not. So you do it and see it's
a lonely It's not even the physical part. It's a
lonely burdened, you know, getting rid of the scar tissue
and the grind on the orth thetron and the Cybex machine.
But what happens is you look at yourself like, well,

(01:19:42):
this never happened to me. I'm superman. I'm gonna rehab
quicker and faster than everybody. So oh, doctor says, dude,
like when I blow out my shoulder. I blow out
my shoulder and the doctor repaired the you know, the
laborm and biceps and rotator. He said, and that's what
the that's the worst surgery because that labor. Because you've
got to sit up. You can't sleep. And I was

(01:20:05):
supposed to wear a sling for six weeks, four to
six weeks minimum. Yeah, just wear holding front right there,
and you got a two nights into it. I took
thing off. Never warn again. I went in there. Doctor
had to reclean it out because he said, I mean,
you're a bad patient, and I am. But it was
all I thought, I'll start lifting a week and a
half in and I'll start strengthening you know, cords and

(01:20:25):
it would range of motion, pans and so there is
that fine line of the invincibility that you thought you
had before you got hurt. And now that you're hear
you said, I'm gonna reha faster everybody else, So that
part does come into play. Tree said, well, do I
want to sit around nowadays? When I had my knee
replacement three hours after knee replayer, the two hours after
I woke up. Three hours after I woke up, I'm

(01:20:47):
walking down the hallway, you know, with the walker which
you're walking. They want you up and moving. Old school.
They put a plat on my first me. They think
about how long ago that was. I had a plaster
cast growing to toe. Oh good god. Where they cut
a hole in it. Two holes in it, one where
your caf is, one where your your thigh is, and

(01:21:07):
you walk around. I'd had to walk around campus with
on crutches, but with the stimulator hooked up to my
muscle stem so it would go walls in class, so
would stimulate the muscle. So when you took it off
the plaster cast, you didn't lose your mind because of
the atrophy. And you still lose your mind because there's
nothing you can do. Your leg lifts and all of it. Still,
when you see it, it's like, my leg's never gonna
look the same. Well, it does. It comes back fast,

(01:21:28):
but because they you know the muscle memory, but you do.
You want to rehab. Think about how far we've gone.
Now they're in a hinge and they're showering. Can take
it up instead of itching in six weeks, Lady table
was brutal. Yeah, how times have changed, so it's a
little different. But I do get when a guy says,
screw that. That doctor doesn't know how I that doesn't
doesn't know my body. My body right, right, So I

(01:21:48):
do get it. But when it comes to the Achilles man,
every step you probably got to be like, is this
gonna be the one where it blows out again? And
I don't know if you're if you have a tendency
to blow it out the second time more often if
you heard it the first time. I don't know what
that medical protocol is right if there I if you
tore it once, because to me, is never the same
once you when you tell you, it's just not when

(01:22:11):
they now the muscle, you can be better, the muscle
around it can be stronger and all that, but when
they take stuff out, you've lost something, right, So you
make the muscle around it stronger and hopefully not happen again.
But once you did, it's not the same. And as
far as an Achilles goes, I don't know if you're
more susceptible to a second one if you've heard a
first one.

Speaker 6 (01:22:29):
Yeah, but PT physical therapy doesn't even start until like
six weeks after the surgery.

Speaker 7 (01:22:34):
Well at least that's what four or five, that's what's
supposed to. How do we how do you know he
wasn't having doing it on his own? Well that's on him,
then that's my part. So if you're not under you know,
Team Supervision or what have you, I don't know. But
for whatever reason or he could have been, you know,
messing around, I said Richard, ing around and again, so

(01:22:56):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:22:56):
Know when has Deshaun Watson ever been on under Team Supervision?

Speaker 7 (01:23:00):
Zero idea? You know, I mean, well for two hundred
and thirty million, he ought to be doing whatever they
tell him to do.

Speaker 6 (01:23:06):
Good goodness, man, shout out for trade him. Man, what
a miserable contract and what a miserable human being. Honestly,
that's my opinion.

Speaker 7 (01:23:14):
I'm not here to disagree with that.

Speaker 6 (01:23:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean shout out Nick Cereal for trading
his ass YEP and getting getting what they got for it. Hey,
you guys want your Alex Bregman update or you want
to wait till nine o'clock.

Speaker 7 (01:23:27):
No, I would imagine probably there is something I got
an interesting Yeah, man, there is something. Yeah, I do
have an update. You ain't getting him on the short term, right.

Speaker 6 (01:23:35):
Yeah, because at a thirty we're gonna get back to
Texas because we're going to welcome in Aaron Wilson, NFL insider.
So let's uh yeah, there's a there's an Alex Bregman update. Mmm,
what is it?

(01:24:40):
Channel two Sports Talk A little, uh little baseball this morning.
Why aren't Pete Alonzo and Alex Bregman signed.

Speaker 5 (01:24:50):
You had.

Speaker 6 (01:24:53):
Bob Nightingale, writer for USA Today Sports covering Major League Baseball,
been doing it for forever. Pete Alonso is represented by
Scott Boris, he's open to a short term deal, but
according to Bob Nightingale in this article, Alex Bregman has

(01:25:20):
no desire to take a short term deal.

Speaker 7 (01:25:25):
What do we consider a short term deal? Four years
or less?

Speaker 3 (01:25:28):
Three?

Speaker 6 (01:25:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:25:32):
So is there a dot dot dot? Uh? Finish to
the story. So it says excuse, I mean interest to
who else is knocking on his door?

Speaker 6 (01:25:42):
So, while Alonso may be willing to accept a short
term deal like a three year deal with opt outs
by the Mets, Alex Bregman is not going down that
same path. He has no desire to accept a short
term contract, and he's remaining remaining engaged with several teams
like the Blue Jays, Tigers in the Red Sox. Boris saying, quote,

(01:26:03):
Bregman's a championship player. Teams know it. It's really a
matter of his decision making in THEIRS about how you
can close up that gap. There's substantial interest in long
term deals end quote. If there's if there's excuse me,
if there's interest, substantial interests. According to Scott Boris, what
the hell's taken so long?

Speaker 7 (01:26:22):
Well, that substantial interest hasn't hasn't brought the substantial money
that he wants for years long term deal substantial. So
I'm assuming that means five to seven years or eight whoever,
whatever somebody's offering. Maybe, just maybe he hasn't hit the
money mark that he wants. You notice how sly Scott
Boris was. That's a Bregman decision. He said it, he

(01:26:46):
said in there he goes just when Bregman decides what
So is it Bregman that we're waiting on to decide? Well,
I'll take this for less. It's obviously not a deal.
He really loves he likes him. I'm sure if he
loved him, he already made the decision. So is he
trying to I mean, are they well? I want five
more million? I want two more minutes? He gonna wait
it out and continue to ask for more? Is he

(01:27:07):
at his ceiling? If he loved the deal, the deal
would already be signed. Yeah, exactly. Like I always say
to say to you, if you like a guy, don't
draft him with the first pick. If you love a guy,
draft him with the first pick. Right if you like.
If you're Bregmant and you like an offer, wait it
out until you get the one you love and you

(01:27:29):
may never get the one you love. And then you
got to say what's the what's what's the best of
the three likes? But if I'm if I, if I'm
a team, if I love Alex Bregman, what am I
waiting on? Yeah? If I it tells me does any Okay,
let me ask you this at five to seven years
right now, does it appear that somebody loves him or
if they did what they have been done? If they
don't want him on your team? But at what? At

(01:27:51):
what price?

Speaker 6 (01:27:52):
If they loved him, that offer would have already been
sent out. I would agree and signed if he loved
them as well. Scott Wors also saying to Bob Knight,
and you know, quote, you're seeing so many teams that
are actually not spending. They're making more, but they're not spending.
They're spending far less than they did two to three
years ago. There's a quadrant as many as ten to
twelve teams that are in that position. The graduation of

(01:28:13):
being an owner has different definition than it did ten
fifteen years ago, ironically, because of the appreciation of the
franchise value end quote, did you feel like teams aren't
spending this offseason?

Speaker 7 (01:28:27):
Well, I heard the same, didn't I hear the same
thing last off season?

Speaker 6 (01:28:29):
I say, I hear this same career freaking thing from
Scott Boris every off season.

Speaker 7 (01:28:36):
I hear it. Oh man, they're not spending as much.
Teams aren't spending as much. Well, the Mets spin a
little bit, you know, they're not spending as much on
who They're spending that much on the people they love. Right.
Apparently the Dodgers loved Blake Snell. Yeah, apparently the Giants
loved Willie Doomas. Apparently the you know, at a different price,

(01:29:03):
you know what, the Diamondbacks love There you go, There
you go. And I would imagine there's a whole bunch
of like but the love thing. So yeah, it's it's
to the point of that to me, if you read

(01:29:25):
between the lines, nobody's offered him what he wants yet, Yeah, exactly.
So that's a simple way to put it. Yeah, and
he'll get to the breaking point of I got to
take one because I got to go play somewhere. And
if they're all in the same one, then he's going
to take the manager and Teamy feels the best about
if all the money's in the same category, and the
years are the same, then you'll figure out, Okay, I
like this one a little better. He probably has two

(01:29:47):
or three teams and offers that he likes, but doesn't
have the one that he loves, and he's waiting to
see if he can fall in love with it or
there with him. If both sides loved what was going
on or loved him and he loved them, the deal
would have been done a month ago or three weeks ago,
so and like's okay, But the Mets loved Soto, as
did a bunch of other teams, so they got it done. Yeah, yeah,

(01:30:07):
and you know, so I would imagine there's some indecision
going on on all parts, and there's it's it's like,
I mean, the money tells you in the years will
tell you who loves who. And right now, Alex Bright,
now if he gets seven years at two hundred and
ten million dollars, okay, great, But right now, that look
like that's the path or he would have already signed it.

(01:30:28):
And I'm telling you right if they put it this way,
if the Miami Marlins were the one team that offered
in that contract and nobody else.

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
Did, guess where he'd be playing Miami. That's exactly right.
I mean, you look at dude, look at the moves.
The Oakland Athletics made one of the one of the
organizations that never spends money. They went and signed Luis Severino.
It's the largest enfranchise history for the Oakland Athletics, three year,
sixty seven million dollar deal. The Baltimore Warriials went out
and signed Charlie Morton. The Dodgers signed uh Snell. Joe Yeah,

(01:30:57):
and Snell hosts Young Kim. They signed him to almost
a third million dollar contract, a little bit lower. But
teams are spending every year. It's just like injuries, you're
gonna hear more. Oh man, I feel like there's more
injury how many times year that going into football season. Man,
we're having more injuries in training camp that we've ever had.
There's more preseason injuries or man, the first month of

(01:31:17):
the season, more injuries that I can remember. And then
the next year, hey man, the first month of the
season with more injuries and I can remember. Feels like
more people, more armage. I mean, it happens all the time. Yeah,
there's plenty of them. And now they're spending on people
they love, right, and they're spending a lot on people
they like, just not they're not enough for the guy

(01:31:38):
that wants more. The two organizations that very rarely spend money,
the Angels in the Oakland Athletics, both spent a lot
of money this offseason. Angels went signed Kakuchi or Hey, Hilaire,
Travis Day, Arnol, Kyle Hendricks, Kevin Newman.

Speaker 7 (01:31:55):
Do you really believe that if he had the offer
he wanted, or if the team felt like they on
him for seven years at two hundred million bucks, then
wouldn't it be done?

Speaker 6 (01:32:03):
Look at the Rangers and what they've spent this offseason,
wouldn't it Bethan Valdi? They signed Jack Peterson, Like, come on, man,
wouldn't the deal be done if they both loved it?

Speaker 7 (01:32:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:32:12):
It would simple as.

Speaker 7 (01:32:14):
That they haven't. They haven't. They're nowhere. He's not where
they want it to be, and he wants either more.
He didn't want short term, so he wants more money
in more years, and apparently nobody's quite where he wants
to because when that team does rear their head and
makes that offer, he'll be playing where and it's not
gonna be Will somebody offered me ten million a year? More. No,
it's going to be in that same framework. I would

(01:32:36):
imagine he's going to go to somebody who eventually says, Okay,
I got to get to training camp spring training, so
I gotta get rolling. But it would have already been
done if he got the money in years he wanted, right,
and if a team loved him like some thought they
did going into this offseason, they would have blown the
other guys away to get him early in free agency.

Speaker 6 (01:32:55):
Yeah, simple as that.

Speaker 7 (01:32:57):
All right, you can slice it any way you want.
The pie is still coming out of full pie. Right.
That's the way it is. Seven seven hinety is the
number to join.

Speaker 6 (01:33:06):
We'll take your calls next as we roll along right
here on the Shawn Salisbury Show.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
Let the celebration start.

Speaker 11 (01:33:12):
Wars Sean Salisbury, The Sewan Salisbury Show.

Speaker 6 (01:33:19):
Todd welcome in.

Speaker 15 (01:33:21):
Hey Pegs, losing my voice so hopefully'll can hear me. Okay,
For as far as Boris goes, the problem is the
market s adjusting and Boris is not. Teams have learned
that that these offering these major, big long contracts to
guys when they're thirty thirty one years old, they're not

(01:33:41):
paying off in the last three four years of the contracts.
So they're still willing to spend a lot of money
on these guys that are twenty six, twenty seven. But
these guys when they get into the early thirties, they
know it just it just the value is not there.

Speaker 7 (01:33:54):
For the duration.

Speaker 24 (01:33:55):
So you know, they're willing to spend higher annual value
on shorter contracts, you know, but they don't want to
do these long ones. And Boris has not seemed to
learn that yet. I mean, you look at what brag
New was offered. It was very fair, very comparable to
Chapman and Willia damas Uh. But Boris still thinks that

(01:34:17):
a guy is thirty pushing thirty one is going to
get two hundred, two hundred and fifty million dollars and
that's that's just not the case anymore. And you're seeing
it with Pete Alonzo too, Like it's just Boris is
going to have to adjust that. Either they need to
accept a lower you know, less years or a little
bit lower value per year, or you're not going to

(01:34:39):
see it. It's not that the teams aren't spending money.
I mean, I mean looking there's huge payrolls across you know,
we're the top ten teams. It's just you know, Boris
needs to rethink his strategy anyway, lining up to listen, Thanks,
thank you, Todd.

Speaker 6 (01:34:55):
I think we are starting to see that, Sean is
excuse me, these owners are not giving out these big
contracts as far as years wise. I mean, the Astros
have notoriously not gone over six years, and you're starting
to see other teams not do that. Of course, you
got the Mets spending massive money, You've got the Dodgers

(01:35:15):
spending massive money with some of these other teams quote
unquote middle of the road. If you will not giving
out these long term deals. It's also pretty crazy to
me that Petere Alonso is still a free agent.

Speaker 7 (01:35:26):
Yeah. They, I mean they're being far more judicious and
how they're spending it and what level of player you're
getting for what you're spending. But once again, the whole
league can be doing. Thirty teams could do what they want.
If one team loves you, it doesn't matter, right although
in most cases it's if you're really negotiating and want
some leverage, you got to have more than one that's
interested in you. And put it this way, right now,

(01:35:50):
there's some players like Corbyn Burns that are saying I
loved free agency, and there are some other ones that
saying maybe Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman. I thought there'd
be more. Juan Soto had no problem with the way
they spend now, so it you know it. I guess
it takes one executive to be able to pay you
what you want. And neither neither of those guys have

(01:36:11):
got sufficient at least offers, or they would have taken it.
It's it's cut and dry.

Speaker 6 (01:36:16):
Pete Alonzo reportedly shot down a rejected a contract offer
from the Mets three years worth up to seventy million dollars.
So he's been offered a three year deal and he
said nope, he probably wants something more.

Speaker 7 (01:36:34):
Oh yeah, meaning you're wi doing it again in two years.
There's no doubt that doesn't surprise me at all, does
he you?

Speaker 6 (01:36:42):
No, it does not. No, it sure doesn't. I figured again, honestly,
I really thought that Bregman and Pete Alonzo would have
already signed a contract somewhere.

Speaker 7 (01:36:51):
Agreed minimum of a couple of weeks ago, as we
say in here. So the longer it goes, who does
it favor the team layer, I would think, so there's
a team. I would think, so it's gonna happen to
where player will break before the team does. Right, most time,
it happens whenever that breaking point is.

Speaker 6 (01:37:07):
Yeah, what do we got? I mean obvious, I said
yesterday or less than a month. You got pitchers and
catchers reporting on the thirteenth of February, twelfth and thirteenth
and fourteenth, so less than a month away. Yep, we
are one, two three. We're literally three and a half
weeks away from UH spring training starting, and these two
big free agents don't have a place to play. So
it's going to get to a point where I believe

(01:37:28):
that both of those guys, or at least for Bregmant's sake,
he'll crack if you will. I don't know whoe it's
gonna be. I still think it's gonna be the Boston
Red Sox. It's kind of interesting that Bob Nightingale mentioned
the UH Toronto Blue Jays. The Toronto Blue Jay has
been in on every big free agent this offseason, at
all of them. They can't land anybody.

Speaker 7 (01:37:44):
Yeah, maybe it's time they do land one right, good gracious,
it would be nice if they did for them, but
I don't, and they're alway. They seemed to always disappoint
when it comes to the postseason too. Yeah, it's annoying,
but yeah, Bregman will get the offer at least close.
He's not gonna get what he wants, No, he's not.
So he's going to have to decide where his settle is. Yeah.

(01:38:07):
When I say settle, where he wants to settle and say, okay,
that's good enough, I'm ready to go play.

Speaker 6 (01:38:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:38:12):
And when people think as well, is he working because
he doesn't know where he's of course he's putting time in.

Speaker 6 (01:38:16):
Oh yeah, he on social media, he was hitting yesterday.

Speaker 7 (01:38:19):
Yeah, he's putting his time. He's putting his time and
so he's ready go and maybe this year will be
different for him. Although the trend says he's a slow starter,
maybe in a new city will be a fast starter.
He knows. Maybe it doesn't appear like it's going to
be here. And if those are the only three teams
that are being mentioned, he would take somebody jumping in
and saying, well, let's trump them all and get him.
We we've talked about it. We want Bregman or somebody
got hurt in their off season training. It's probably one

(01:38:40):
of those three and it's going to be there. There's
obviously some break there, there's some sticking points for all
three teams and for him or like I said, it
would have been done already. Players play. Players don't just
sit back when there's all this kind of mind on
line saying they go wait it down. School players are genuinely,
genuinely have a hint of insecurity in him. Yeah, that

(01:39:02):
they don't want to let you know about. But why
doesn't people like we talked about it yesterday, They don't
like me as much? That question does come into play.
May not be loud, but it exists. And when you're
not getting what you want, don't think Peter A. Lonso
is going through the same thing that good player power
bat Man what I've done, And don't you think that
if he turned that offer down by the Mets, he

(01:39:22):
feels disrespected at some point. Yeah, and I've been here.
What are you talking about? Yeah? Sure, so you know,
I think Peter Alonso has a chance of going back
to the Mets more than Alex Bregman has a chance
to coming back here. At this stage, Yeah, it almost
feels like that to me.

Speaker 6 (01:39:37):
Yeah, I don't think Bregman's coming back here man the
same happening. That might have to be some humble pie,
wouldn't It would be a big, big humble pie. Seven
seven ninety John, what's up?

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (01:39:49):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (01:39:50):
Hey? I you know I chimed in on this yesterday.
But but you know, I you're regarding Bregman and all
that's going on. You know, you'd think some of these
athletes would would figure this out. I mean, the uh,
these agents like Boros, you know, they'll always say, oh,
I can get you a lot more than that, because
Yeahstus I think made a good offer to Bragman, and
they certainly did a good one too to Carlos Korea.

(01:40:13):
But I I, you know, I really admire these athletes
that negotiate their own contracts like Tunsel did his own negotiating,
Lamar Jackson did, and uh Ryan, you remember Hakeem Olajuan,
he would negotiate his own contracts with Charlie Thomas. And
you know, these guys don't use these agents because these
agents get their pay up front and after that's done,

(01:40:34):
they don't care. But the athletes, you know, they're they're
they're you know that it's spaced out over.

Speaker 7 (01:40:39):
Time, and uh, but I I don't know. I just
I wish some of.

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
These athletes would kind of pay attention to what's going
on with the market and and kind of do their
own thing, because I, like I said, I think Lamar
Jackson what he did and tunsl and Oose guys. I mean,
they cut out that middleman, they cut out the agent,
and they get more for themselves. Actually, so I'm just
surprised that's not being done more. I mean, you can

(01:41:04):
always get a lawyer just look over the contract or something.
But I don't, you know, I question the value of
these agents.

Speaker 3 (01:41:09):
A lot of times.

Speaker 7 (01:41:10):
It's a lot cheaper to hire an hourly lawyer than
it is to pay six percent or eight percent or
four por whatever it is on three hundred million dollars, right,
But most of them don't trust themselves. They don't want
the hassle do it. They're concerned about the fine print. Hints.
Why you say go hire a five hundred dollars an
hour lawyer, that's a that's a thousand dollars an hour lawyer.

(01:41:31):
You're still saving money having looked over the contract that
that has a little bit of like a sports lawyer
that has that has a good background on it, that
may not be a player agent, but understands uniformity contracts
and the incentives. And when they can do a little alls,
you got to do as little comps you can. You
can put comps together. It's not that hard like a
realtor does, and put them on there. But most don't

(01:41:52):
trust themselves. And in truth, most athletes it's intimidating for
them because it's out of their comfort zone. But the
ones that do, now you do six people to think about.
Think about sodo do six percent of five hundred million
dollars or eight percent of five hundred million. Yeah, it's
held a lot of money. So but yeah, and that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
Agent gets and that agent gets that up he gets
that up front. I remember when Charlie Thomas sold sold
the Rockets. You know, he called up Hakeem Olajwaan and
he says, I just sold the team.

Speaker 3 (01:42:17):
I don't work for you anymore, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
But but you know, but but again, like you said,
I I just think that uh, you know, there are
some people out there that have a good reputation that
a player could trust.

Speaker 7 (01:42:31):
That they do a good job. There are some great
ones out there. Yes, they're all the road out no dark.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
Yeah, yeah, I just I just think they should use it,
do that more.

Speaker 7 (01:42:40):
But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Maybe some of these athletes will learn, you know about
this better and and do it. But yeah, I'm just
surprised it's not being done more.

Speaker 7 (01:42:48):
That's all. So with my agent just saying, then, thanks
for the call, John, good stuff, and that's a good point,
and maybe you'll see it more and more that player
empowerment will lead to in their off season going studying
contracts or taking a finance class so you can understand,
and I understand there's a difference between a million dollar
contract than a five hundred million dollar contract, but is there.
It's it's it's it's relative right, right, But the big

(01:43:11):
money makes you cringe if you're a player. I can
tell you this though I didn't. I didn't pay my
agent up front, my age. I got paid when I
got paid. Yeah, money, when when my check comes in,
then you get some money. I'm now if the signing
bonus you got me sign bos and I'm giving you
five percent of my sign most when I get it,
you get it. Yeah, I'm not paying you ten years
of contract it's a Soto. If Soto paid his agent

(01:43:35):
upfront right off the bat, that I'm not doing that.
I get paid when you get paid, meaning i'm the agent.
You pay me when you get your money. So you'd say, okay,
this year's contract is it's a five million dollar contract. Okay,
if you're making ten percent, I'm just using that all right,
So you get five hundred grand, but it'll be an

(01:43:57):
increments when I get paid. And now you don't get
it all up front, You're gonna get it when I
get it. Yeah, that's a big hit on somebody's bank account. Yeah,
but there may be some that do it. But that's
to get it out of the way. But let that
money work for you. That's another thing. You put it
in your own interest in paying what they said to
have him get you know, you hit him all up front.
That that's you're gonna take money out of your pocket.

Speaker 6 (01:44:18):
No way, no way. Business. I stand on it, stand
on to stand on business, stand on business. It's good
to break. Get back to talking Texans. We're gonna welcome
in NFL insider Aaron Wilson to the show next right
here on seven eighty The Shawn Salisbury Show, continued, I said,

(01:44:41):
this is the year they get upset in the divisional round.
I don't know who is he gonna be by, but
I just feel like this is going to be the year. Well,
here we are and it's the UH Texans taking on Chef.
Tell me why defense? That's why the wide receivers for
the Texans are not better. I'm sorry, the wide receivers
for the Chiefs aren't not better than the defensive backs

(01:45:02):
for the Texans.

Speaker 7 (01:45:03):
Right now, who the offense do you trust more of
the Chiefs Because it's the Chiefs. You like the Chiefs
offense more. But you think that the matchup can favor
the Texans.

Speaker 6 (01:45:16):
I think the defensive matchups favor the Texans with their
defensive ends, meaning Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter. I think
Christian Harris, I think is he's Al Shaier are going
to do a really good job, can do a really
good job against Travis Kelcey limiting him. I think the
interior will be able to stop the run. And then
you got Derek Stingland Kamario last year are playing really
good football right now?

Speaker 7 (01:45:34):
All right? So then now flip it, who do you
like better? The Texans offense or the Chiefs defense.

Speaker 6 (01:45:44):
Chris Jones is really damn good. So I would say
I would favor the Chiefs defense, but I think they
can make the Texans offense can make enough plays to win.

Speaker 7 (01:45:54):
So you think that the Texans offense is got a
bigger gap of success against the Chiefs defense is the
Chiefs offense does against the Texans defense. You think the
Texans offense is closer.

Speaker 6 (01:46:10):
Man, you are breaking this war.

Speaker 7 (01:46:11):
Well, no, and I am you. So you think the
Texans offense and when people get predictions, just like you've
been on these end, people let them off and then
not tell I'm just looking for a reason why. So
it gives us another perspective to look at. You think
the Texans offense is got a bigger distance of success
over the Chiefs defense than the Kansas City offense does

(01:46:33):
to the Texans defense. Yes, and that's because that's your difference. Yeah,
I think that's the difference. So you think the Texans
defense is better than the Chiefs defense right now, right now,
And you think that the offense of the Chiefs is
better than the Texans. Yet you think the GAP's what's
bigger gap Chiefs offense over to Texans offense or Texans

(01:46:54):
defense over Chiefs defense.

Speaker 6 (01:46:55):
I think just because of Patrick Mahomes playing in January,
they have a bigger gap over the I think the
offense is a bigger gap for the Chiefs over the
Texans just because of the Texans is over the chief Chiefs.

Speaker 16 (01:47:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:47:06):
But yeah, you're still picking the who are the Chiefs
because you like the grinding out you think it's gonna
be I mean you're still picking Texans because you think
they can hang around. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:47:13):
I think they can hang around, and I think offensively
they can make some sort of plays down the stretch
to win the ball game Texas. If the Patrick Mahome
gets the ball with two minutes left, game over. You're
not beating Patrick Mahomes with two minutes left. It's like
Tom Brady when he got the ball the last Well,
of course, the public everybody loves the Chiefs in this game. Yeah,
everybody does.

Speaker 7 (01:47:31):
Yeah, this TV in front of us right here has
all four guys picking the Chiefs.

Speaker 6 (01:47:35):
But I look at excuse me, I look at are
the Chiefs. Who's who's got better linebackers Chiefs or Texans
better secondary?

Speaker 7 (01:47:44):
Think Texans Chiefs, Chiefs, Chiefs linebacking Corps with Carl Loftis
and said they're they're pretty good, man. It's it's equal. Yeah,
there's not a that six and one half dozen the
other who's better defensive line interior Texts Chiefs, Uh, perimeter,
the the edge rushers Texans.

Speaker 6 (01:48:05):
And then secondary you already said it.

Speaker 7 (01:48:06):
Ticker at six and one a half times in the
other punter pretty similar. Quarterback advantage Mahomes wide receivers team speed,
them physical, big.

Speaker 20 (01:48:21):
Uh, but.

Speaker 7 (01:48:26):
Their offense is better. Run game mixing over check and
and the Samaji not huge, but but Mixing's mixing is
better than both of those guys are. And now now
Pacheco runs like a man possessed when he's going. He's hard,
but so does Joe. Tight end advantage Travis Kelsey, no doubt.

(01:48:48):
So there there's I mean, there's there's advantages, and you
can do the checklist of Okay, this team has this advantage,
just sent this advantage. But then you got to also
get into the other things like handling, pressure, playing and
clement other cold, the January and the intensity and the
way Andy Reid Steve Spagnolo coaching advantage Chiefs just because

(01:49:09):
they've been in not that this isn't This young version
of the Texans isn't good, But the coaching advantage is Chiefs.
They've been doing this a long time and they've got
a ton of experience over there, more than this team does.

Speaker 16 (01:49:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:49:19):
I just think it's going to be a gritty trying
not sound so cliche, but it's going to be more
defense than offense. Put it to you that way, and
I just the way that I feel about it. Of course,
the Chiefs have the edge. They've been there, they've done that.
Twenty three days off is a long long time. But
if there's one quarterback that overcome I'm saying it's an
overcome it but can play, well, that's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 7 (01:49:41):
It wasn't Andy Reid. Mahomes once again A bears repeating
as I told you that Andy Reid. Very few people
in the history of this game have come out of
a bye week and won more games than Andy Reid has.
They will be ready to play, yeah it now, whether
it's a struggle in the first few minutes, whatever, they
will be ready to play. Yeah. And the veteran quarterback

(01:50:01):
who doesn't live in structure. I worry about teams that
are structured that boom boom boom. This is the way
we when I say precise, because precise is dynamic to
equals dynamic. But structure. See, the Chiefs are very precise
in what they do. But it's like organized chaos. Does
that make sense. It's not like it's that they're not

(01:50:22):
buttoned up. They're buttoned up on discipline and all that,
but I'm talking about when you're thinking and you're not thinking, oh,
this team, because you know what we'll do around the
back shovel pass we'll do you know, they'll do stuff
that's not conventional, and they make it look like it's
supposed to be conventional because they make it look so easy.
But they are not. They operate in chaos all the time.

(01:50:45):
It's almost like the organized chaos is where they're there.
They live, They're not that you know, remember when the
Saints and Show they were so boom boom boom manning structure, Right,
this is this is a little more this is a
little more spontaneou party. Then sit down seven course meal, team,
you know, here's what we're having this, here's the sub

(01:51:06):
Make sure you use the right fork there and I
don't care what fork you use grabble with your hands
if that's what you want to do. That's who the
Chiefs are. Yet with Andy Reid, who is precise and dynamic,
it's a great offset because can you imagine if Andy
Reid tried to put a governor on the way they
poach their football game. You won't do that.

Speaker 6 (01:51:22):
Yeah, I was saying, he'll never do that.

Speaker 7 (01:51:24):
There's a there's a structure the teams that I'd worry
about the timing of a passer who has worked on
structure and on schedule all the time. This team maybe
you take a throw or two, But when you're an
off schedule, organized chaos team anyway that wins all the time,
and you know how to win, and they know how
to win one score in close game because they've been

(01:51:44):
doing it all year. They find ways to We've seen
it a million times. They had no business winning and
they still find a way to win. Yet they do
have business because why they do close I mean they
really If you want Mariano Rivera, the Chiefs are it.
So I'm really anxious to see how they do it.
But I'd be far more worried if it was one
of those they relied on every little small thing they

(01:52:07):
can get away with now the great teams, Brian, even
though it's organized, can't say still do the little details
so good? So well? But it just put it this way,
it's you know what it is. It's the guy who's
whose hair or the guy whose hair is a little
messed up, right, throwing the ponytail go. It's not they
stood in front of the mirror and got themselves dressed
and ready to go. I mean, they can look good

(01:52:27):
in the suit, but the time might be a little crooked,
but the end result is got the girl. Yeah, the
party was good and I gave my speech right right,
that's who they are. Yeah, I just think back to
excuse me, I think back to they're a well oiled
machine that just kind of gets off the beaten pass sometimes.

Speaker 6 (01:52:43):
I think for the Texans last year, at this time,
what do we talk about the Ravens, Rokwan Smith, Patrick Queen,
Ronald Darby, Kyle Hamilton, Kyle van Noy, Like that defense
was stout. Man, They're going into Baltimore all by the way,
you still got to put up with Lamar Jackson running
the football, and you just kind of felt like even

(01:53:04):
going into the game, the Texans were going to be overwhelmed,
which they were. They got to be thirty four to
ten this year. They made the roster better. The defense
has been flying around. They don't miss a lot of
tackles again tackle. I just feel like the optimism is
a little bit better just because of the way that
their defense plays. And if there's a defense with ends
and edge rushers like they have right now, the Texans,

(01:53:25):
I feel like they can contain.

Speaker 7 (01:53:27):
Patrick mahonmes, what would you feel like if they had
a crappy ass offensive game last week? Is still pulled
it out right? They forced forth in. Yeah, and let's
say they would have won in a sluggish three point game,
let's say sixteen to thirteen. They got four turnoffs, just
couldn't you know, couldn't score in the red zone, didn't
get a defensive score that their defense kicked ass with

(01:53:47):
the offense floundered, but they still won. How would you
be feeling going into this week? My optimism would not
be as high. And truth is, you've known all along
who the defense is. Your optimism's high because the offense
in the second half looked like they could play. It
looks better after a broken play changed the whole course.
The whole course of it, So that that's really what
this comes down. Because the defense has been pretty reliable

(01:54:09):
the whole time. Yeah, and last week they kicked out
and they play really good against good quarterbacks.

Speaker 24 (01:54:14):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:54:15):
The key here is that the reason why your optimisms
through the roof is because of the thing that everybody wants.
It sells tickets. Offense. Offense. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 6 (01:54:23):
Seven one three, two one two five, seven ninety is
the number to join. Will continue to talk about these Texans. Next,
barrels his way to the basket.

Don't throw any interceptions this weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:56:39):
I've done that before. No more, man, no more, no more, No,
I don't want to throwny picks. Let's talk to Steve.
What's up Steve?

Speaker 16 (01:56:48):
Hey, Hey, I'm wondering if wondering if it's a coincidence
that the year before a big free agency deals that
all of a sudden, h you know, borrows infielders become
the captain of the infield and start hanging around for
more wisdom to the pictures on the mound, you know,

(01:57:09):
thinking of Korea and Regman. That looks good on the resume.
This guy's got leadership.

Speaker 7 (01:57:18):
So you so you're saying that the leadership. No, So
what's what the total point, Steve? What is it for
you about it you're talking about Bregman.

Speaker 16 (01:57:26):
I think it's a little bit of counseling by the.

Speaker 7 (01:57:28):
Agent, counseling not to take a deal. Is that what
you're saying?

Speaker 16 (01:57:35):
No, No, nothing to do with the deal, you know,
except for adding to the resume. You need to start
hanging around on the mound and being the team leader
because that looks good and when we're trying to sell
you on this big.

Speaker 7 (01:57:46):
Contract, so you you think, and I'm just trying to
make sure I get this straight, So you think that
if Bregman makes more visits to the mound, did that
looks good to opposing teams so they would want to
sign anymore? Is that what you mean that they think
that's better leadership?

Speaker 16 (01:58:02):
It looks ironically like what happened with Korea.

Speaker 7 (01:58:07):
Right, and but wasn't. But are you so you're saying
he needs more of it or teams like that he
had it? Which one are you saying?

Speaker 16 (01:58:15):
I think it's just ironic that in both those cases,
the year before their free agency they start becoming the
team leader.

Speaker 7 (01:58:23):
Oh okay, But let me ask you this though, Steven.
Have you been in Houston a long time? A while? Yeah,
I've been here thirteen years, and I'm being serious about
this guy. I'd like to know from your perspective, did
you ever did you even before the last year before
they were free agents, both Bregman and Korea? Were they
both known around here as leaders before that? Or did

(01:58:46):
you think it was heightened in their last year here.

Speaker 16 (01:58:49):
The last years before their free agency all of a sudden,
you know, they became the the you know, the coach
of the infield and uh and advice to the pictures.

Speaker 7 (01:59:02):
Okay, so Steve let me certainly was not the case,
Yes it was.

Speaker 6 (01:59:09):
It was with with Bregman. Bregman has worked with these
pictures for a while now. Now, the Carlos Korea thing
you were referring to when he walked on the mound
and got fromber correct back in the COVID season, it
wasn't just with then who else was it?

Speaker 1 (01:59:28):
Then?

Speaker 7 (01:59:28):
Who what?

Speaker 6 (01:59:28):
Because I I don't remember him being an infield like a.

Speaker 7 (01:59:33):
Steve saying that they heighted and more they became bigger
leaders or more uh in the public, or more more
people saw it. Is that what you're saying, there's.

Speaker 16 (01:59:43):
A lot more visible than than ever before. I mean,
you didn't hear people talking about, oh yeah, look, you
know he's a uh, he's the team leader and and
h leader in the dugout.

Speaker 6 (01:59:55):
So then what about when Korea took the I hate
sounds to cliche here, but like the bull by the
horn when the cheating scandal came out and he was
the most vocal. That was two years before his free
agent contract.

Speaker 9 (02:00:07):
Okay, he took the lot.

Speaker 6 (02:00:13):
Do we lose him? He must have lost, Steve. I'm
not sure if he didn't hear me. I just think
Carlos Krey has started to try to emerge himself as
a leader prior to just the one year before his
contract was up. You saw what he did when the
cheating scandal came out. He was the one that was
talking a lot during spring training. He was the one
that was calling out Cody Bellinger. He was the one

(02:00:36):
that was kind of, like I said, taking the bull
by the horns, being the vocal leader. And you know
he's your shortstop. He's gonna make mountain visits regardless, like
that's why you have your shortstop. And then the Bregnant stuff.
Bregnant has been helping out pictures for a while now,
and you've always heard about Bregman that he's the clubhouse glue,
like you've always heard that, not just this past year.

Speaker 7 (02:00:55):
Agreed. I get what Steve is saying about. I don't.

Speaker 6 (02:00:58):
I'm a lot.

Speaker 7 (02:00:59):
I'm talking about how important leadership is. But since I've
been here and watched the Astros and the Korea, Bregman
the one thing that I've always heard first every year
from Well from from James Click from Dana Brown, from

(02:01:23):
Jeff Luno and am among players is they've always raved
about the clubhouse and that Guygman and that guy Korea.
And the one thing that people kept saying before they
went into their walk here that I heard here was
we can't lose their leadership. And that wasn't just in

(02:01:44):
the last year. Maybe it became more visible because they
need with all the injuries they need in pitching, injuries,
needed to be out there anything Mother Mountain. I don't
think that is I think people I think their reputation
is leadership. People knew about that far before their last year. Yeah,
that's what I was trying to say. I think I
was trying to utilize examples. I think he's saying that
it's good on the resume. I think he felt that

(02:02:06):
maybe it was more pronounced the last year before they
let like this past year. I don't. I don't think
anybody questions and may if he does. I just know
for me as a guy who moved here, they'd actually
mentioned leadership about Korea before performance, right and the same.
I'm not saying they couldn't perform and that Bregman's always
been a glue guy.

Speaker 6 (02:02:25):
Yeah, always been the glue guy.

Speaker 7 (02:02:27):
That's the right, right, So maybe it was more pronounced
to him visually, you know, with the optics the last
years they were here. That's not the reason though, Alex
Began hasn't signed because I think that that'd be a
reason he would sign, because I think people trust his leadership.
Everybody's going to speak on Alex Begnan was going to say,
the guy's great in the clubhouse. Yeah, guys love his
work ethic, guys love having him around. It's production and

(02:02:52):
money in years and right now, none of those are
matching what he wants. And in the team's eyes, if
they were, it would have already been handed right, And
it all comes down to Bregman. Maybe Bregnan is the
one that is not wanting the three years, not Boris. Yeah. Well,
I've always told you if you're a smart if you're smart,
where you got to realize the player works for you.

(02:03:13):
I mean the agent works for the player. The player
is the boss. So if a contract's not signed, he
brings you the information you say, nope, I'm not signing that.
The player makes the final decision. Now, how the agent's
talking to those guys when there on the phone or
when Bregman's not around. You know, only Boris and whoever
the agent is for. Anybody else knows that in the
team so to me, and Bregman's a good player, But

(02:03:35):
it's obvious that they think the offensive production matching the
years and money isn't what they want to pay compared
to what he thinks he's worth. That's nothing. That's not derogatory.
Maybe it is for him from the teams feeling that way,
but as we say it, it's just a factor. It
would have been done. They paid so to a lot
of money. Why everything matched what they wanted the year

(02:03:56):
everything Mets couldn't resist it. And the same thing's going
on with Peter Lonzo for different and I don't whatever
the money difference is. They think they should get longer
years with more money, and the teams think they're really
good players. But loving and liking are two different things.
If you love them, if you love a deal, you'd
have already taken it. If if you love a player,

(02:04:18):
you would have already made sure that he knew you
loved him. Like and love for two different things. Yeah,
Like a lot of people you don't love many, right right?

Speaker 15 (02:06:26):
Hey, is uh.

Speaker 9 (02:06:28):
Buffalo a underdog?

Speaker 7 (02:06:31):
No? Yes, yes, yeah by half point one point one
point yeah at home.

Speaker 9 (02:06:36):
I'm won't pick all the underdogs, won't pick them out.
I think the I think the Rams receiving corps it's
gonna hurt Detroit because there's all the injuries they have
in the secondary. I think that's that'll be over thirty
games for both of them.

Speaker 7 (02:06:55):
Rams don't play. Rams aren't playing Detroit.

Speaker 6 (02:06:57):
They play the Eagles.

Speaker 9 (02:06:59):
Yeah, they played an Eagle, Kyle, that's right as the Commandos.

Speaker 17 (02:07:02):
Same thing.

Speaker 9 (02:07:03):
I don't think I just I just think the Daniels
will beat them.

Speaker 1 (02:07:07):
I'm gonna go under.

Speaker 9 (02:07:08):
I'm gonna take all of them, all of the all
of the rookies to win this weekend.

Speaker 16 (02:07:15):
You know what a.

Speaker 9 (02:07:15):
Strange fact about the Chiefs this they don't They didn't
even score per game one point more than the Texas
all year. They had three hundred and eighty six point
scored Texas three hundred and seventy two. So neither of
them had a powerhouse scoring loss all year long. They

(02:07:36):
were like ranked fifteenth and eighteenth in the league. And
I just I like the Texans defense. You know what, strange, Sean,
I don't think the defense is getting enough credit because
they're basically playing with a rookie safety and a third
string safety in Murray with Ward and Petriarch, and they're

(02:08:01):
doing what they're doing that's pretty damn good.

Speaker 7 (02:08:05):
Yeah, they're special. That secondary is one of the best
young secondaries in the league.

Speaker 9 (02:08:09):
Man, oh oh, look War's gone. He won't be back
next year, so look for them to You know, you
got Petriot and Bullet look for him to. You know,
my guess is gonna probably go out and get a
veteran safety.

Speaker 1 (02:08:26):
To go along with those two guys.

Speaker 9 (02:08:28):
Probably not be a starter, though, I'm looking for Bullet
and pet you be your you know, starting safety Corps
next year. But yeah, you're right, that's secondary. It's come
next year when they're all healthy and everything. They may
be the best in the laitue. Yeah, have a good one,
you too, buddy. Yeah, there at the top of the list.

Speaker 7 (02:08:46):
They are. They are special and in that Baltimore it's telling.
I don't know why I thought going into this Buffalo
was the favor by half point, but it's a point
for Baltimore on the road. Yep, dude, that's huge, going
into one of the most hostile environments. So I would

(02:09:08):
take in this one right now. I'd probably take the three,
you know, if you were doing it, I would take
if there was If I say it's an upset because
Baltimore is on the road, but it's not an upset
according to Vegas because the Buffalo Bills are the are
the dog at home. But it speaks loud volumes to

(02:09:30):
just how good it's a Pickham game, but just how
how much people value the way, especially people who the
gambling world. Just how much people value the way that
the Baltimore Ravens are playing. But this Texans defense is
so good on the back end and pass rush. They've
got every element to be element to be a top
three defense every year for the next handful of years.

Speaker 6 (02:09:51):
Yeah they really do. Yep, sure do. It's a young
core obviously coached well by Dimico Ryans and Matt Burke
s Doctor Wood would thanks for holding good morning.

Speaker 1 (02:10:01):
Shuh yeah, lost your mind.

Speaker 14 (02:10:03):
The Texans got one more day to go, No, sir,
we got three more weeks to go. We're gonna be
in in New Orleans in February.

Speaker 1 (02:10:10):
I'm gonna tell you something. Day to go.

Speaker 7 (02:10:13):
I said they had one more day to go till
they play the game.

Speaker 14 (02:10:17):
Hey hey, hey, hey, we're going farther than that. Like
I say, Kansas City, rain is over. The football guards
are gonna be with us.

Speaker 1 (02:10:24):
I'm headed to Kansas City. The brothers don't like the cold,
but I'm gonna be wrapped up like a mummy up there.
I'm not going down there.

Speaker 14 (02:10:31):
To just see us uh play around. I'm going down
there to make sure it ain't gonna be no crime.
We're gonna be mad. We're gonna take this next level
of this defense continuing to whoop that tail and run
out to Patrick Mahomes, and we're gonna also let let
it be known that ke K is ready to take
it to the next level.

Speaker 7 (02:10:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:10:52):
Once he woke up after that bumble, he's now understanding
what he needs to do.

Speaker 14 (02:10:57):
He's running that ball he's getting He needed kids to
get the ball out of his hand quick. The reason
why the guards of the football guards are with us.
This is gonna be New Orleans foot fifty nine, number
fifty nine, who was number fifty nine hours old our
coach to me, go Ryan, I'm not worried about the

(02:11:17):
fact that.

Speaker 1 (02:11:19):
Nixon is hurt.

Speaker 14 (02:11:20):
We got Pios Pears is ready to run in his cold.
He's ready to hit that hole. He's ready to show
everybody that he can step up and be that number two,
number one running back that can make it happen. This
is gonna be our year. Like I say, Kansas City
day time is over. The only thing that I want
is Buffalo to de beat Baltimore because just like with

(02:11:43):
the Rockets back during the day, Seattle was our nemicis.

Speaker 1 (02:11:46):
We can handle Utah, we can handle Phoenix. Everybody like that.
But Baltimore is ourn nemicuis right now. We can beat
Kansas City. We can beat Baltimore. Bring us on to
the New Orleans and to the super Bowl.

Speaker 7 (02:11:58):
I don't care who's there.

Speaker 1 (02:11:59):
We're gonna win that championship.

Speaker 7 (02:12:02):
Good speech, you like it. And when I said that,
when I said they got a game to play in
a day, I met they actually got a game to
play tomorrow. I didn't say whether they're moving on. I don't.
I don't know if it's going to end for them.
They got a tall task and it'll be a tall
task for whoever plays next week, and it'll be a
tall task in February on what the ninth. So yeah,
there's no doubt. So yeah, I don't think wood that

(02:12:25):
it was a would is that who was? Yeah? I
don't think anybody's question that. The Texans hopefully, if they
do all the things you said, then they'll play. Really
they'll have a chance to win. Like I said, that's
a that's a lot of doing. But I wouldn't say
that the Chiefs runs over as long as Mahomes and
Andy Reider. There maybe over this you we'll see. But
at fifteen and two, yes it was. They're fifteen and

(02:12:49):
two pretty good team. But I love I love Wood,
I love your enthusiasm, man, But I just said the
games tomorrow they got they got one more day left
before they play the game. I don't have any idea.
I'll let you know around six thirty on Sunday, hopefully
not any sooner than that, because I don't want to
be in the middle of the second quarter saying the
season is over. I hope. I don't think it's a blowout.
I think it'll be a close game and come down

(02:13:11):
about six to eight plays. And I think that the
Texans defense is real.

Speaker 6 (02:13:15):
Yeah, but I also think that you have to have
Joe Mixon in the lineup.

Speaker 21 (02:13:19):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (02:13:19):
I like the defense to and what I'm making is
no offense, but maybe he'd take offense to it. Listen,
you got a better chance to win with Joe Mixon
in the backfield than you do Damien. Not saying you
can't win, but with Joe Mixon, there's a it's a
it's the way you thump inside. It's different.

Speaker 6 (02:13:35):
He just it's just different in this inside outside zone
scheme and call some plays to throw him the football.

Speaker 7 (02:13:43):
I'll be nice. I would imagine he's I hope that
he's done the same thing and let them know. Let's
get me more involved in the passing yet, but Wood's
enthusiasm that guy going there, and he said, what do
you said? The brothers don't like the cold Burn Biscuits
say that too, and need to do the White Boys either.
I got news for it. So but I hope you
have a great trip, would and I hope it comes
back and you call on Monday and we can celebrate together.
It's gonna be a it's going to be going to

(02:14:05):
take all forty eight of them and then some. It's
going to take all meaning players and a big coaching staff.
And I think they're going to have to have their
best game considering the circumstances and when it is and
where it is and who they're playing. They'll have to
play better than they did at any point in time
this year. All right, even better than last week. Yeah,
that's and I do too. Yeah, but I'm not sure

(02:14:26):
Kansas City is not up to the task either with it.
Like I said, it's amazing that that team is still
this hungry. Yeah, you know, you think you get fat
and happy after they do, and then they're going to
ask for a fourth. They the the game that that
that Yeah, and if you're the Texans, you're going to
Baltimore or Buffalo one way or the other, and neither
one of them will be easy. So if you can

(02:14:47):
get through this gauntlet, then you deserve to be playing
in February. And no question about it, there will be
no luck. There will be no luck involved in getting
to this super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (02:14:55):
No, no, there will not. Seven one three, seven ninety
will continue to take your calls talking Texans and Chiefs.
Let's discuss the defensive line for the Texans and how
they're going to stop Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
Next show continues.

Speaker 7 (02:15:16):
We all, is it an overrated funk theazoids?

Speaker 25 (02:16:28):

Speaker 6 (02:16:45):
You know the big time picture coming from Japan. Roki Sasaki, and.

Speaker 7 (02:16:49):
I disagree with him. They're kind kind, good people are

you know kind. He means it. He means it with love. Yeah, yeah,
stay away from the rats.

Speaker 6 (02:17:07):
Yeah they're all rats.

Speaker 7 (02:17:08):
Yeah they're not.

Speaker 6 (02:17:09):
No, they're not no, no, no, they're not. Roki Sasaki
is close to a deal with the Dodgers. According to sources, I.

Speaker 7 (02:17:15):
Was hoping that no figure, because Boston was jumping into
that fray too.

Speaker 6 (02:17:18):
You had Boston, Toronto, you had San Diego. The Rangers
were also reportedly involved, but he ruled them out last week.
He just rolled out the uh Padres this morning and
the Red Sox. So it's down to the Dodgers and
the Blue Jays. Sources are saying.

Speaker 7 (02:17:34):
Yeah, he's got a few of his country been there too,
so it's comfortable. I would imagine as well. Right, honestly,
I know, why are you laughing nothing overbo oh? But
he does. I know he's got you know, everybody wants, oh,
everybody wants to be around you know, familiarity, right, yeah,
not great team World Series championship there, Yeah, guys that

(02:17:56):
he's played baseball with in his country and coming up.
Who doesn't want a comfort zone? Right?

Speaker 6 (02:18:02):
And then just the Dodgers is gonna pump out more money,
no doubt. And he's supposed to be filthy, so well,
Dodgers will be back to back title title winners.

Speaker 7 (02:18:10):
The Dodgers are like one of those teams if everybody
stays healthy on their starting pitching staff. They got too many.
They have too many. He's like to many. Yeah, it's weird.
Has Jack Flerty signed anywhere?

Speaker 16 (02:18:20):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:18:21):
Why?

Speaker 6 (02:18:22):
I don't know?

Speaker 16 (02:18:22):
Man?

Speaker 7 (02:18:24):
Again, is this the Jordan Montgomery of Tow twenty twenty five? Man?
I hope not. Jack Flaherty better. I like him on
my roster me too. He's a bulldoyes, He's tough. I
like Jack flairdy. I don't know. It's weird to me,
but that teams like got I mean, they're like nine
deep on the starting pitching staff. It'uper.

Speaker 6 (02:18:41):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (02:18:42):
Man.

Speaker 7 (02:18:44):
You gotta have that coin, man, and they pay it.
They ain't afraid to go pay it.

Speaker 6 (02:18:47):
Yeah, they're gonna shell out more coin as they always do.
Let's start a bill.

Speaker 7 (02:18:53):
What's that bill? Hey guys? Good morning.

Speaker 10 (02:18:55):
Hey, you guys were talking about you earlier, and I
gotta go back to that if you have a minute.
I'm of the generation of the nerd age where I
grew up with radio that was sports. Radio to me
was guy ballgames. And I was a nerdy kid who
would listen out of Chicago if I could listen to
a radio game of the Cubs or the White Sox

(02:19:16):
or the Bears. That was my thing, and I have
been a radio peek all my life. So guys like
Uker you couldn't hear unless you lived in Milwaukee, or
Vin Scully. But you know what the beauty of those
two guys was, they did the exact same thing, completely

(02:19:36):
different ways. But they were the best storytellers, maybe ever
for the game of baseball, which lends itself to radio
better than any of the sports. And I have just
always had a great appreciation for great radio guys. Now
Scully was a master because he did TV and did
other sports, but purely for baseball only. Uker was as

(02:19:58):
good as anybody who ever for dialed it Up.

Speaker 3 (02:20:01):
And that goes with Harwell.

Speaker 10 (02:20:03):
You mentioned Jack Buck earlier, Sean this town had my
little back in the day, Dick John Miller still today.
I mean, these are iconic voices.

Speaker 7 (02:20:17):
With the sports.

Speaker 10 (02:20:18):
And I was fortunate back in my hometown, Indiana, I
was actually able to do five seasons of the local
five thousand watt radio stations did high school football and
basketball for the hometown team.

Speaker 7 (02:20:30):
And that was so fun doing that.

Speaker 10 (02:20:32):
To be able to do that, to listen now, to
do to listen now because because of the MLB app
you could dial up Bob Buker if you wanted to.

Speaker 7 (02:20:43):
You could listen to a Brewers team. You can call up.
They don't do it. They don't do it as much anymore. Fans.
When I was growing up, people did not want to
listen to the public addresser fans cheer. They they'd have
an earpiece in there. They'd take their trans to radio
into the ballpark. Absolutely, they wanted to listen to you,
ker Vin Scully, Dick Enberg, Jerry Coleman for me and

(02:21:07):
San Diego, you know, the great Jerry Coleman longtime broadcast
that you would you would listen to their broadcast city.
The conversation you were having was with them, listening to
them like they were talking to you as opposed to
talking to you. You know, you take your kids and
you talk to them, but you listen to the radio
call of the game, not the public address and all
the you know, the pomp and circumstances that go on
between innings. Now, you wanted to hear what Vince Scully

(02:21:29):
and Harwell and Edinburgh in that group had Harry, you know,
Harry Carey had to do and the you know the
simulcast the TV radio, but I think it's one of
the most unique because of the time in between pitches
if you're just listening on the radio. The great ones
made you. Vince Scully, Bob Buker, I always felt Mike
Shannon for me too, with Jack Buck, you know, both

(02:21:50):
of those guys. I always felt like when I would
listen to him that they were sitting next to me.
We were in the ballpark together. Because the way you
paint a picture, you know, Vin Scully was so good.
He'd tell you what what what was on somebody's hot dogs,
so you could visualize the person sitting in the front
road saying, oh man, I see the relish right, everything
about the storytelling, and I think it's a unique skill set.

(02:22:14):
You know this, Like you said, you've done it to
be able to do that on radio and paint a
picture that none of us can see. And I almost,
oh my gosh, as good as it gets. As good
as it gets.

Speaker 10 (02:22:26):
Yes, and part of cable TV, if you didn't live
in your market, it can only get radio.

Speaker 7 (02:22:31):
That's all you had.

Speaker 10 (02:22:32):
That's right, seven days a week you had to dial.
I had to doll up the cubs on the on
the on the seven, in which I know you're familiar
with back. Oh yeah, you did Chicago radio. You listen
to WGN radio period. That's all you had because you
maybe if you weren't in the market. You've got one
game week on TV where I lived one game yep.

Speaker 7 (02:22:52):
And you know what's creating now you get it every day.
And what's what's crazy, yep, is that you would. I
mean it was that's how you familiar. You felt like
they were your best friends, the guys calling the games.
And I'll be honest with you, I actually miss it
because I'd rather hear those guys and listen to some
of the stuff I have to listen to, honesty.

Speaker 20 (02:23:09):
Not not here.

Speaker 7 (02:23:09):
I'm talking about on TV, the local inner ear broadcast
of radio. I miss those times when it was just now.
I guest you could still do it, but I miss
We've lost a lot of legends. We got some good
We've got a good broadcast teams here and people still
have them. No misunderstand, I'm not saying there's not good ones.
But I missed the legends I do. I miss the
guy who'd been there forty years and that the players

(02:23:30):
know him, that he's the face of the organization and
he's a broadcaster, right like Uker. Everybody knows who the
Uker was and Vin Hell I'm convinced that Vince Scully's
as popular as any Dodger that's ever played. I am.
I think as many people know Vin Scully's they knew
Roy Campanella or you know, I do you know the
Jackie Robinson. I mean he's in that group, Duke Snyder,
Don dryzel Kofax Scully, Jackie Robinson. I mean when you

(02:23:52):
mentioned the fifteen best Dodgers, you know, his name's always
gonna get mentioned, Vin Scully. And it's no different Milwaukee.
Matter of fact, because of the of history. Maybe that
the Dodgers have that Milwaukee with championships, don't hell Yuker
is going to be taller up to higher up their
chain than anybody because he at one point time he
may have been the face of that dog On city. Right.
It's craziness, man.

Speaker 9 (02:24:15):
Matthews, Warren Spaon.

Speaker 7 (02:24:16):
There there you go, there you go. A great weekend.
Appreciated Bill, great stuff by you, great insight. The old Yeah,
Vince Scully was you you you you would have bought
a ticket or listened to him. You know how they
charge us for all this the k how they charge
you for all this beitching as much none of us
would if Vince Scully was calling the game. I mean
that that was a blessing right where you got to

(02:24:38):
hear you felt like you were It was an honor
to listen to him. Good broadcasters that paint a great picture.
We got a couple here, you know it just it.
They make you feel like you're there and that that's
that is a true art form and just as good
as any Vince Scully is just as good as any
artists who puts it on canvas right, and and Bob
Buker in his way different presentation but really really moving.

Speaker 6 (02:25:03):
I loved listening to him. My dad listened to nothing
but AM radio. That's why I wanted to get into radio.
I remember being a young kid, excuse me, coming home
from games from my little league games, my dad would
turn on the radio to listen to Mileo Hamilton call
the Astros game, him and Alan Ashby. That's that's why
I wanted to get into radios. Because in the garage
my dad didn't have a TV on. My dad had
the radio on listening to whatever sports radio was on.

(02:25:25):
I think it was like legends like Charlie Palillo back
in the day. Obviously he was here at some point
for those guys like that. And then in the mornings,
my dad would listened to seven forty KRH on his
way to work. That's why I wanted to become to
get into radios, because my dad always listened to radio,
sports radio, news radio, everything. It was radio over TV. Yeah, man,

(02:25:45):
it was when you think about all the great broadcasters,
all the great radio guys, they painted like you like
all said, they painted the picture, And I think that's
what my dad enjoyed the most.

Speaker 7 (02:25:54):
Yeah, you were, they made it. You were even more comfortable.
The picture was as clear as if you were sitting
next to them in the ballpark. And then when it's
a blowout is when the great ones kick in, right,
their stories kick in to keep you listen. When it's
nine and nothing, you want to turn it off with
Gully or Bob Buker, God rest his soul, the great
one's Ernie Horrible. You said, now I can't turn it off?

(02:26:15):
Why because they're gonna I don't want to miss this
Mike Shannon story, right, you know, it's crazy. Yeah, pretty impressive. Man,
God blessed Bob Buker. He made a lot of people
laugh from me time.

Speaker 6 (02:26:25):
Yeah, there is no doubt that he did. Let's good
to break. Let's get back to talking. Texans got a
couple of segments left. Also got to make our picks.

Speaker 5 (02:28:22):
Does Sewn Salisbury show continued, Oh that was slave.

Speaker 6 (02:28:28):
Slave, Yeah, yeah, familiar, got them on my playlist, Sure
you do.

Speaker 9 (02:28:34):
I do not.

Speaker 6 (02:28:36):
Did you guys see the latest report on Jerry Jones
and the Dallas Cowboys? No, I did not, Sean, did.

Speaker 7 (02:28:43):
You the latest report on Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys?
Is it a coach? Yeah, Kellen Moore.

Speaker 6 (02:28:50):
According to Ed Werder, long time, long time insider in
the NFL, uh he put out the Dion Sanders almost
certainly take the Dallas Cowboys job if Jerry Jones offers
it to him.

Speaker 7 (02:29:03):
I saw that he also, supposedly, I think it was
Jane Slater, who reports out of Dallas for NFL Network,
had said that Dion went back to you know a
lot of times when you're doing this, you're entertaining. You're
either looking for a pay raise or looking for how
can I get more out of the university for the players,
that he went back to the university with a this

(02:29:25):
is what alleged, what she said and what she's being reported.
Went back to Colorado the boss, a big boss and
said and he more nil, a little bit more banned
with the nil, more money and more money for his
coaches and they turn it down. Wow, So standing firm
on this. What you have is what you're going to

(02:29:46):
operate out of. At least that's what the report is
from them. Jane's reliable is as is ed word or
that I do know too, And I can't imagine that
if you're Deon that, if Jerry does offer you the gig,
you're really you're not taking it. Come on now, of
course you're intrigued with this Dallas Cowboys, You're gonna listen.

Speaker 6 (02:30:05):
So according to Diana Russini, as of this morning, she said, quote,
there's definitely a camp that I'm talking to that's like,
this is not real.

Speaker 7 (02:30:13):
This is not real.

Speaker 6 (02:30:14):
They talk this is all flirting, meaning Deon Sanders and
Jerry Joe.

Speaker 7 (02:30:19):
Are they just flirting for the the optics or is
it flirting because you might like them a little bit more.
Is it a one night stand or is this a marriage?

Speaker 6 (02:30:28):
Probably a lot of I don't see it happening.

Speaker 7 (02:30:35):
On whose end? On Jerry Jones, I would agree. I
still thinking it gets right down to the power through it,
right down to the bare minimum to this, to the
smallest fraction. Jerry's gonna ask himself well, he may be
intrigued with it. Do I want to give up who
the boss? Who it appears is got the Who's who's

(02:30:58):
got the power of the building, Meaning will Dion pull
more weight than me? Even though he's the perception of
who are people going to go talk to? Because Deon's
got more, Jerry's got some now, Jerry's got some personality now,
but you know who else has more of it? De Sanders, Right,
So the perception is that now he's going to be
the voice in the face of the organization, right if
he gets it. You know why Kellen Moore is a

(02:31:18):
perfect higher because he's a yes man and he's the
guy who's not going to ask for anything no other
than I'm the head coach of the Dallas Cowny. No,
I'm not not saying Kellen Moore's not good, but it's
a different way they go about their business, and it's
the perfect way Jerry can continue the stronghold over everybody
in the organization. Yeah, that's why I think Jerry would

(02:31:41):
take a guy who he thinks less of. I'm not
saying he does in this case, but I remove these
two put two other ones in there. I think Jerry
would be willing to take a guy he thinks less
of as a coach, but likes the fact that the
guy will adhere to anything he wants, as opposed to
a guy who maybe louder voice, but maybe he doesn't
have the coaching chops that the other guy does. I

(02:32:04):
think he'd take the less the coach or he's a
better coach, but as a louder voice. Yeah, that guy
or a bigger presence. Jerry would shy away from that
guy more than he would the guy who may be
a little bit of a lesser coach. But man, I
still run the building exactly, And I think that perception
matters to Jerry. And if I was a betman, i'd
take the I'd take the non Dion Sanders approach that

(02:32:28):
he'd take as much he loves Dion and the whole thing.
I don't think Jerry likes the fact they'll have to
share the spotlight. Yeah, and he will. Hey also.

Speaker 6 (02:32:38):
Also your guy, Jack del Rio been named the head
coach of the Parrot excuse me, Paris Musketeers of the
European League of Football.

Speaker 7 (02:32:49):
Talked to my guy last week.

Speaker 6 (02:32:53):
Go ahead, I got horse coming from Adam Scheffer reporting
on Jack Rio and then excuse me another another couple
of uh, just quick notes around the league. Next time,
we're gonna make our picks for the Texans and of
course the rest of the divisional games. Tom Brady planned
to be in the Fox broadcast booth for the duration
of his ten year contract.

Speaker 7 (02:33:14):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (02:33:14):
This coming straight from his agent Don yee.

Speaker 7 (02:33:19):
Yes to Jack. I talked to him last week. I
didn't We didn't talk about football. It was just catching
up on life and good for him. Chance to stay
in it and go coach and make a difference and
probably a little less pressure. And you're gonna teach somebody
the game. It probably doesn't know it as well as
everybody over here. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:33:37):
Good trying to expand the game over there.

Speaker 5 (02:33:39):
Man.

Speaker 6 (02:33:39):

Speaker 7 (02:35:43):
I hate to play golf. Yeah, I mean I say

top try it. What's just for me?

Speaker 1 (02:35:57):
On?

Speaker 7 (02:35:58):
Get to the road. Go there you go, there you
go there pop lock walking up a little bit. Oh
there you go.

Speaker 5 (02:36:07):
Where are here?

Speaker 7 (02:36:09):
The sound of the hometown cheers. He loves the sun

And there you go? There you go, break it down?
There you go, live right there, yeah, stay.

Speaker 6 (02:36:28):
Right there, right there, right all right. I'm pumped up.

Speaker 7 (02:36:32):
Now are you. Yeah, sure you are.

Speaker 6 (02:36:33):
I'm ready to go.

Speaker 7 (02:36:34):
Sure you are.

Speaker 6 (02:36:35):
Commander's Lions tomorrow night, and we asked addictions. Lions favored
by nine and a half Lions.

Speaker 7 (02:36:44):
I'm gonna give you two picks spread and the game. Okay,
Washington gets inside the number, Lions win the game. Do
you feel me or not?

Speaker 6 (02:36:56):
Over under a fifty five and a half?

Speaker 7 (02:36:59):
I think the over in the game.

Speaker 6 (02:37:00):
I would take the over as well. Sunday's games because
we're gonna leave the Texans game for last. Rams Eagles
two o'clock Sunday six and a half spread favored of
the Eagles.

Speaker 7 (02:37:14):
I think the Rams are really dangerous in this game.
Veteran quarterback who throws the ball a lot better than
the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback. I think Eagles and Barkley, what
a difference he's made for them, and their defense is
playing good football. I'm going to take Rams inside the
number Philadelphia to win. And I hate to continue to

(02:37:34):
pick the favorites in the game. Yeah, but I think
the Philadelphia at home, if they were in LA, I
would pick. I would pick the Rams, I really would,
but I think it'll be closer than six and a half.
But I think philadelphiaens up winning.

Speaker 6 (02:37:47):
Forty three and a half points spread about.

Speaker 7 (02:37:49):
I don't know what the weather's gonna be. I think.
I'm sorry, yeah, I think it's gonna I think this
is like thirty two degrees lights now, and I think
that that that'll be easy to play in as long
as there's no win.

Speaker 6 (02:38:00):
And then the big one Ravens Bills Sunday evening, five
point thirty the kickoff, Baltimore favored by one over under
set at fifty one and a half.

Speaker 7 (02:38:10):
Listen this one. I can't wait to see this what
times that game five? I cannot wait to see this game.
My affinity for Buffalo and what they've done this year
is I freaking love the way that city goes about
football is I do, and the way Josh Allen's played.

(02:38:32):
But I cannot hide the fact that I think Baltimore
is the best team in the league right now. I
know that it matters in Buffalo. I just think Baltimore's
got more weapons overall, and their defense is playing good.
I think Baltimore can win if Josh If Lamar Jackson
doesn't have his best game, I don't think Buffalo can

(02:38:52):
win if Josh Allen doesn't give me both ways. Baltimore Baltimore.
Baltimore versus the obviously have to if it's a half
a pointer point, Baltimore covers and wins the game on
the road in Buffalo, which pains me to say, I
love Baltimore too. I'm just going by my heart would

(02:39:14):
say Buffalo. I want Buffalo. I mean I do at home.
I'd love to see it, after all. I mean when
I was playing in those years when they went to
four straights like and they still couldn't pull one off.
There's a part of me that would love to see
that for them. I'm just going with the team I
think is playing better. As matter of fact, they're playing
other worldly football right now. I'll take Baltimore in both ways.

Speaker 6 (02:39:32):
All right, Texans, Well, you guys got Chiefs. I'm gonna
go with Baltimore. Yes, I'm going with the Lions. I'm
taking the Rams and I'm taking the Bills. And then
it's Texans. It's Chiefs. Chiefs favored by eight.

Speaker 7 (02:39:48):
Give me that. I just saw one up here said
Chiefs by eight and a half. I'm going to take
the Texans inside the number. I'm gonna take this. I'm
gonna take the Chiefs to win the game. Think I
mean because it's not because I think they're they're supremely
that much more talented. Love the defense that the Texans
are playing. I just think overall, with Andy Reid and

(02:40:09):
Patrick Mahomes and theirs experience in the postseason too, they're
well rest a little too much for me. I hope
I'm wrong, but I think a little too much for me.

Speaker 6 (02:40:16):
I think the I think the defense wins the game
for the Texans. It won't be a blowout on either side.
I think it'll be an ugly ass defensive game, and
I think the Texans will pull it off.

Speaker 7 (02:40:26):
Yes, let's hope you're right. I hope I'm right too. Yeah,
but the Kansas City Chiefs fatigue wears on you. I
hate it.

Speaker 6 (02:40:35):
But it's just because they've been so good. It's the
same thing when I was growing up watching Tom Brady
do it every single year.

Speaker 7 (02:40:39):
Well, we've seen it with Golden State recently, you know,
of the past years, we've seen we it's the fatigue
in Brady's fatigue kicks in when the Cowboys are winning.
They had fatigue the forty nine ers, and this is
major cancer.

Speaker 1 (02:40:51):
Well, you know what.

Speaker 7 (02:40:52):
The reason we hate it is because they're so frigging exactly,
you're gonna have to play. They're gonna have to play
their best game. There we go, We're gonna have to
lay their best game.

Speaker 26 (02:41:00):
I'm gonna try to get Travis the ball. You know,
Coach Reid's gonna call a good game. And you know
it's extually a good team though, So let's see how
it goes. Why, lady, what are Jackson.

Speaker 6 (02:41:11):
Mahomes is gonna be there?

Speaker 7 (02:41:13):
Who cares about? Yeah? What's he doing?

Speaker 6 (02:41:18):
Probably fighting his sexual assault case or whatever? He whoa,
he's groping, forcing his tongue down a bar manager's throat.

Speaker 7 (02:41:27):
He can't French, No French? Go Texans?

Speaker 6 (02:41:31):
Yeah, man, Hopefully Cody Johnson watched his games this weekend.

Speaker 7 (02:41:36):
What's he saying?

Speaker 5 (02:41:37):
Where not?

Speaker 7 (02:41:39):
There?

Speaker 16 (02:41:39):
You go?

Speaker 3 (02:41:40):
They here.

Speaker 7 (02:41:42):
It's gonna be a fun atmosphere on Cansad. I can't
wait to see it all you guys, all the locals
that are traveling there to go see these Texas play.
Have a blast man, be safe, bring back and win.
I just had to pick it with the well if
my heart wants to say one team, but my head
and telling me that it's gonna they're gonna have to
play great football.

Speaker 6 (02:41:58):
I just wish you would work for the city, man.
I do, that's right, Homer all the time.

Speaker 7 (02:42:03):
But I don't get paid by any of these teams,
so right, I gotta pick what I.
